Question

Find the distance from point M to point N on the graph shown. Round your answer to

Answer 1

Answer:

3. 8.60 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from point M(-2, 4) to point N(5, -1) can be calculated using the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

M(-2, 4) => (x1, y1)

N(5, -1) => (x2, y2)

Plug in the values into the formula

$d = \sqrt{(5 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 4)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{49 + 25}$

$d = \sqrt{74}$

$d = 8.60 units$
