Question

Find the distance between the two points.

Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 17.03 ( to 2 dec. places )

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 9)

d = $\sqrt{(6+7)^2+(9+2)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{13^2+11^2}$

  = $\sqrt{169+121}$

  = $\sqrt{290}$ ≈≈ 17.03
