Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

15.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are (0,9) and (-8,-4)

Distance of two points formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Plug in the values.

$D=\sqrt{(-8-0)^2+(-4-9)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-13)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{64+169}$

$D=\sqrt{250}$

$D= 15.264338...$

$D \approx 15.3$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{D = 15.8\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are (0,9) and (-8,-4)

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

D = $\sqrt{(-8-0)^2+(-4-9)^2}$

D = $\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-13)^2}$

D = $\sqrt{81+169}$

D = $\sqrt{250}$

D = 15.8 units
