Question

What is the distance between W(3, 1) and X(-2,-5)? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^2 +( y_{2} - y_{1})^2 }$

Substituting          (-2 - 3)² + (-5 - 1)²

           Distance = $\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-6)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{25 + 36}$

Distance = 7.8
