Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for distance is:
Where (x₁, y) and (x₂, y₂) are the points.
We are given (-6, 6) and (-3, 3). If we match the value and its corresponding variable, we see that:
- x₁= -6
- y₁ = 6
- x₂ = -3
- y₂ = 3
Substitute the values into the formula.
Solve inside the parentheses.
- -3 --6 = -3+6 = 3
- 3-6 = -3
Solve the exponents.
- (3)²= 3*3= 9
- (-3)²= -3*-3 =9
Add.
Round to the nearest tenth. The 4 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 2 in the tenth place.
The distance between the two points is apprximately <u>4.2</u>
