Question

In the coronet plane, what is the length of the line segment that connects points at (5, 4) and (-3, -1)? Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest hundredth. ___units

Answer 1

9.43

Explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We have the points (5, 4) and (-3, -1). Substitute:

`d=√((-3-5)^2+(-1-4)^2)=√((-8)^2+(-5)^2)=√(64+25)=√(89)\approx9.43`
