Question

Given points S(-4,-2) and T(-1,0) What is the length of ST? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

the length of ST = 3.6 to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on the Cartesian are written as (x, y)

Given points S(-4, -2) and T(-1, 0)

The distance between these two points is given by the formula

ST = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]

x₂ = -4

x₁ = -1

y₂ = -2

y₁ = 0

ST = √{[-4 - (-1)]² + [-2 - 0]²}

ST = √[(-4 + 1)² + (-2)²]

ST = √(-3²+4)

ST = √(9 + 4)

ST = √13

ST = 3.6 to the nearest tenth
