Question

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3, -4) and (-8,1) on a coordinate grid

Answer 1

we have
points (-3, -4) and (-8,1)
we know that
the Distance Formula is represented by

`d= \sqrt{ (y2-y1)^(2) +(x2-x1)^(2) }`

`d= \sqrt{ (1+4)^(2) +(-8+3)^(2) } \\ d= \sqrt{ (5)^(2) +(-5)^(2) } \\ d= √(50) \\ d=7.07 units`

the answer is
7.07 units or 5√2 units
