Question

if one point is located at (-5,3) and another point is located at (7,-4). find the distance between the points. round to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(7 - (-5))^2 + (-4-3)^2}\\d = \sqrt{(12)^2 + (-7)^2}\\d = \sqrt{144 + 49}\\d = \sqrt{193}$

The square root of 193 rounded to the nearest tenth is 13.9.
