Question

4. Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = 7.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In coordinate geometry, the distance between the 2 points is given by

$Distance = \sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2} + (y1-y2)^{2} }$

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of the 2 points.

Above the 2 points given are, (-2,-1) and (3,5).

x1 = -2 , y1 = -1 , x2 = 3, y2 = 5

$Distance = \sqrt{((-2)-(3))^{2} + ((-1)-(5))^{2} }$

$Distance = \sqrt{61}$

Distance = 7.8102 units

To the nearest tenth, Distance = 7.8 units
