Question

1. SR has endpoint S(-2, 14) and R(3, -1). What is SR to the nearest tenth?

2. In Problem 3 on page 52 of your textbook, suppose you let V(4, -2) be (x1, y1) and U(-7, 5) be (x2, y2). Do you get the same result? Explain why or why not.


(Will get 5 stars & a thanks. High pts but will report if your answer is unnecessary.)

Answer 1

I know it's too late lol but for number two I think you'd get the same result.

Answer 2

I was told to disregard problem 2

so, I would assume the problem is asking us to find the distance of the line segment SR

so
the distance between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is


`√((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)`

given

(-2,14) and (3,-1)


`√((-2-3)^2+(14-(-1))^2)`=

`√((-5)^2+(14+1)^2)`=

`√(25+(15)^2)`=

`√(25+225)`=

`√(650)`=

rounded
