Question

Find the distance between (−7, 2) and (−6, 3). Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf D=1.4 \ units}`

Explanation:

Points:

• 
  `(x_1,y_1)=(-7,2)`
• 
  `(x_2,y_2)=(-6,3)`

Distance Formula:

• Distance =
  `√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Put the above points in the formula.

`D=√((-6-(-7))^2+(3-2)^2) \\\\D=√((-6+7)^2+1^2) \\\\D=√(1^2+1) \\\\D=√(1+1) \\\\D=√(2) \\\\D=1.4 \ units\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`
