Question

3) What is the distance between (-5, 2) and (-1, 6). Round to the nearest tenths if necessary. You can either graph it or use the distance formula below.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plug the values into the given distance formula

d = sqrt (( -5 - -1)^2 + ( 2-6)^2 )

d = sqrt ( 16 + 16 )

d = sqrt 32 = 5.7
