Question

What is the distance between the points (-6, 7) and (-1, 1) ? Round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

7.8 rounded to the nearest whole number would be 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 would be x1

7 would be y1

-1 would be x2

1 would be y2

Take these numbers and plug them into the distance formula:

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

$\sqrt{(-1 - -6)^2 + (1-7)^2} \\\sqrt{(5)^2 + (6)^2\\\} \\\sqrt{25 + 36} \\\sqrt{61} = 7.81$
