Question

What is the distance between coordinates (-6.25,5) and (-3.75,2)

Answer 1

`√(15.25)`

Explanation:

To find the distance, we can use the distance formula:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)` when the given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the points (-6.25,5) and (-3.75,2)

`d=√((-6.25-x_1)^2+(5-y_1)^2)\\d=√((-6.25-(-3.75))^2+(5-2)^2)\\d=√((-6.25+3.75)^2+(5-2)^2)\\d=√((-2.5)^2+(3)^2)\\d=√(6.25+9)\\d=√(15.25)`

Therefore, the distance between the two coordinates is
`√(15.25)`, or approximately 3.91.

I hope this helps!
