Question

Find the distance between the points (-3, 9) and (6, -5). Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

16.6

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between two points.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given are two points say A(-3,9) and B (6,-5)

We are asked to find the distance between these two points

i.e. we have to measure the length of line segment AB.

Distance between two points =
`√((x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2) \\=√(9^2+(-14)^2) \\==√(81+196) \\=√(277) \\=16.64`

Round off to nearest tenth to get

distance =16.6
