Question

If the endpoints of MN have coordinates of M (2,7) and N (-3,1), then the length of MN is closest to

(1) 6.1
(2) 6.7
(3)7.5
(4) 7.8

Answer 1

The length of MN, with endpoints at (2,7) and (-3,1), is closest to 6.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of MN, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is given by:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Plugging in the coordinates of M (2,7) and N (-3,1), we get:

d = √[(-3 - 2)^2 + (1 - 7)^2] = √[25 + 36] = √61

The closest answer choice is (1) 6.1
