Question

Instructions: Using the image, find the distance betweenthe points given on the graph.estion

Answer 1

The formula for determining the distance between two points is expressed as

`\text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}`

Looking at the graph,

x1 = - 4, y1 = - 4

x2 = 1, y2 = - 3

`\begin{gathered} \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(1--4)^2+(-3--4)^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{5^2+1^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{26} \\ \text{Distance = 5.1} \end{gathered}`
