Question 8 of 30

What is the distance between the points (6,-4) and (10,-6)? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

OA. 3.5 units
OB. 18.4 units
C. 10.8 units
OD. 4.5 units

Answer 1

Explanation:

The distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the following expression:

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

So, if We replace the coordinates into the equation, We would get this:

`D=√(((-6-(-4))^2 + (10-6)^2)=√((-6+4)^2+(10-6)^2)=√((-2)^2+4^2)`

`D=√(4+16)=√(20) = 4.5`

Then, the right answer is option D: 4.5 units

Answer 2

The distance is 4.5 Units
