Question

Find the distance between the two points.

Answer 1

≈ 17.03 ( to 2 dec. places )

Explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 9)

d =
`√((6+7)^2+(9+2)^2)`

=
`√(13^2+11^2)`

=
`√(169+121)`

=
`√(290)` ≈≈ 17.03
