Question

Find the distance between the pair of points. (Round to the nearest tenth) (-4,6) and (3,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

d ≈ 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in your coordinates into the formula:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-4))^2+(-7-6)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(3+4)^2+(-13)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(7)^2+169}$

$d=\sqrt{49+169}$

$d=\sqrt{218}$

$d = 14.7648$

d ≈ 14.8
