Question

What is the distance between (-6,0) and (5,3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{130}$ or 11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

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

Plug in the points:

d = $\sqrt{(-6 - 5)^2 + (0 - 3)^2}$

Simplify:

d = $\sqrt{(-11)^2 + (-3)^2}$

d = $\sqrt{121 + 9}$

d = $\sqrt{130}$

= approximately 11.4

So, the distance is $\sqrt{130}$ or approx. 11.4
