Question

The distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth
(-8,-6) and (-3,-4)

Answer 1

5.4

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points,
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`, plug them into the following equation:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)\\d=√((-3-(-8))^2+(-4-(-6))^2)`

Two negatives make a positive

`d=√((-3+8)^2+(-4+6)^2)\\d=√((5)^2+(2)^2)\\d=√(25+4)\\d=√(29)\\d=5.4`

Therefore, the distance between the two points rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.4.

I hope this helps!
