Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth(if necessary).(-6,0) and (-9, -4)

Answer 1

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth

(if necessary).

(-6,0) and (-9, -4)

Applying the formula to calculate the distance between two points

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

substitute the coordinates of the given points

`d=\sqrt[]{(-4-0)^2+(-9+6)^2}`
`\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{16+9} \\ d=\sqrt[]{25} \\ d=5\text{ units} \end{gathered}`
