Question

Find the distance between points

M(6,16) and Z(−1,14) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

7.3

Explanation:

use distance between points formula:

Answer 2

d=√(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

d=√(-1-6)^2 + (14-16)^2

d=√(-7)^2 + (-2)^2

d=√49+4

d=√53

d=7.3

Explanation:

1. write down the distance formula
2. label your X's and Y's
3. replace the X's and Y's by their values
4. add the x and the y
5. multiply both of them to the power 2
6. add, then you square root it
