For each set of points below, determine the distance between them using the distance formula. If necessary express your answer in simplest radical form OR rounded to the nearest tenth.

Since you didn’t give any points I’ll just give an example, and hope you answer using it

With a set of points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you can find the distance by d = [ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ]1/2.

Let (x1, y1) be (-4, 5) and (x2, y2) be (-1, -1)

d = [ (-1 - -4)2 + (-1 - 5)2 ]1/2 = [ (3)2 + (-6)2 ]1/2 = [ 9 + 36 ]1/2 = [ 45 ]1/2 = 3*[5]1/2 = 6.7
