Question

what is the distance between the coordinates (-6,4) and (-4,2)? round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The answer is 2.8

(to the nearest tenth)

Answer 2

Hey there :)

We know the distance formula { Check the attached picture }

We are given the coordinates: ( - 6 , 4 ) and ( - 4 , 2 )

Apply the formula:

`√((-4-(-6))^2 + (2 - 4 )^2)`

`√((2)^2+(-2)^2) = √(4 + 4) = √(8)`
= 2√2 = 2.828427...

Your answer will be
`\boxed {= 2.8 \ (to \ the \ nearest \ tenth) }`
