Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary). (-4,8) and (4, 5)​

Answer 1

The distance between the two points can be found using the distance formula:

d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

where (x1, y1) = (-4, 8) and (x2, y2) = (4, 5)

So, d = √((4 - (-4))² + (5 - 8)²) = √((8)² + (-3)²) = √(64 + 9) = √73

Rounding to the nearest tenth, d = √73 ≈ 8.6

Answer 2

-8/3 is the slope of these two points.
