Question

To the nearest hundredth, what is the distance between point (-6, -1) and point (4, 3)?

Answer 1

10.77

Explanation:

Answer 2

Use the distance formula and simply substitute in the corresponding orders pairs.

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Distance = √(4 - (-6))² + (3 - (-1))²

Distance = √(4 + 6)² + (3 + 1)²

Distance = √(10)² + (4)²

Distance = √100 + 16

Distance = √116

Distance = 10.7703296143

Round to the nearest hundredth!

Distance ≈ 10.77
