Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary)

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between these two points is of 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose that we have two points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$. The distance between them is given by:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

In this question:

Distance between  (-7,-1) and (-4,3). So

$D = \sqrt{(-4-(-7))^2+(3-(-1))^2} = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5$

The distance between these two points is of 5 units.
