Question

What is the distance between the points (-3, 9) and (5, 1)? Round to the

Answer 1

Answer: 11.3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, we will need the distance formula.

$D=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} ) ^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

Since we know our x and y, we can plug them into this equation.

$D=\sqrt{(5-(-3))^2+(1-9)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-8)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{64+64}$

$D=\sqrt{128}$

$D=11.3$

The distance between the points is 11.3.
