Question

Find the distance between the pionts(-5,1) and (4,1)

Answer 1

Y2-Y1
X2-X1

1-1
4+5

slope=0/9

Answer 2

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is: d = √ ( x 2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 -y 1 ) 2  Substituting the points from the problem gives: d = √ ( 0 − 5 ) 2 + ( 4 − 1 ) 2   d = √ ( − 5 ) 2 + ( 3 ) 2 d = √ 25 9 d = √ 34 Or d =3 5.8 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
