Question

Find the distance between (-1,0) and (4,2).4.52975.39

Answer 1

The given points are (-1,0) and (4,2).

We find the distance between these points using the following formula.

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_2)^2)`

Using the given points, we have

`\begin{gathered} d=√((4-(-1))^2+(2-0)^2) \\ d=√((4+1)^2+(2)^2) \\ d=√((5)^2+4)=√(25+4)=√(29)\approx5.39 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the distance between the given points is 5.39 units, approximately.
