Question

What is the distance between the points (-6, 7) and (-1, 1) ? Round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

7.8 rounded to the nearest whole number would be 8.

Explanation:

-6 would be x1

7 would be y1

-1 would be x2

1 would be y2

Take these numbers and plug them into the distance formula:

`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2)  + (y2-y1)^2}`

`√((-1 - -6)^2 + (1-7)^2) \\√((5)^2 + (6)^2\\\) \\√(25 + 36) \\√(61) = 7.81`
