Question

Calculate the distance between the points f=(-8,5) and k=(-4,1) in the coordinate plane round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

5.66

Explanation:

Given data

the coordinates are

f=(-8,5) and

x1= -8

y1= 5

k=(-4,1)

x2= -4

y2= 1

The distance can be expressed using the formula

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((-4+8)²+(1-5)²)

d=√((4)²+(-4)²)

d=√16+16)

d=√32

d=√32

d=5.656

Hence the distance between the points is 5.66
