Question

what is the distance between the coordinates (-6,4) and (-4,2)? round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Hey there :)

We know the distance formula { Check the attached picture }

We are given the coordinates: ( - 6 , 4 ) and ( - 4 , 2 )

Apply the formula:
$\sqrt{(-4-(-6))^2 + (2 - 4 )^2}$
$\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8}$
 = 2√2 = 2.828427...

Your answer will be $\boxed {= 2.8 \ (to \ the \ nearest \ tenth) }$

Answer 2

The answer is 2.8

(to the nearest tenth)
