Question

Find the distance between (5, 9) & (-7, -7). Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Distance equals end minus start

(-7,-7)-(5,9)=
(-7-5,-7-9)=(-12,-16)

(-12,-16) gives us the distance point coordinates. Now to find the magnitude we can take sqrt((-12)^2+(-16)^2)=20

So the distance between the two points is 20
