Question

Please i need help on this ​

Answer 1

The distance between the two points on the coordinate plane given above is calculated using the distance formula as approximately 13 units rounded to the nearest whole units. (option A).

How to find the distance of a segment?

To find the distance between two points
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` in the coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`

For the given endpoints (-3, 10) and (4, -1), the distance formula becomes:

`d = √((4 - (-3))^2 + ((-1) - 10)^2)`

Simplify the expression:

`d = √((7)^2 + (-11)^2)`

`d = √(49 + 121)`

`d = √(170)`

d ≈ 13 units [nearest whole unit]

The correction option is: a. 13 units

Complete Question:

What is the distance between the two points of the segment on the coordinate plane shown.

a. 13 units
b. 12 units

c. 7units

d. 3 units

On the coordinate plane, the line has the endpoints: (-3, 10) and (4, -1)
