Question

What is the distance between the points with coordinates (-7, -4) and (3, -9). Round answers to the nearest hundredth. Show work.​

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

Use distance formula ( which is basically the Pythagorean theorem)

d^2 = ( x1-x2)^2 +(y1-y2)^2 ( it does not matter which you assign as '1' or '2'

d^2 = ( -7-3)^2 + (-4 - -9)^2

d^2 = 125

d = sqrt (125) = 5 sqrt (5)
