Question

What is the approximate distance between the points (-5,1) and (-2,3) on a coordinate grid? Show me an example please

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=\sqrt{13}\ units$   or  $d=3.61\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

$A(-5,1)\\E(-2,3)$  

substitute the values

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

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{13}\ units$

$d=3.61\ units$
