Question

What is the distance between (-6,8) and (-3,9)

A) 4
B) 6
C) square root of 10
D) square root of 15

Answer 1

I would say it is close to 4, but not 4.

Explanation:

So I rounded the distance between the 2 plots with a line, and I got either 3.8 or 3.1

square root of 10 = 3.1

square root of 15 = 3.8

The picture is my graph I used to base it, so I would generally consider how close it is to 4 saying C. Square root of 10.

(I only chose 3.1 because I went up on the graph 3 squares with my line. It did not quite reach. I went 1/10(0.1) of a whole up further, and it resulted in the square root of 10 choice.)
