Question

Three-fifths of the distance from (2,-3) to (-3,8)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3\sqrt{146}}{5}$

OR

7.249827584

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to use the distance formula.

$\sqrt{(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}$

Plug your points into the distance formula

$\sqrt{(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}$

$\sqrt{(2 - (-3))^2 + (-3 - 8)^2}$

$\sqrt{(5)^2 + (-11)^2}$

$\sqrt{25 + 121}$

$\sqrt{146}$

Now multiply $\sqrt{146}$ by Three-fifths.

$\sqrt{146} * \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3\sqrt{146}}{5} = 7.249827584$
