Question

if one point is located at (-5,3) and another point is located at (7,-4). find the distance between the points. round to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

13.9

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)\\\\d = √((7 - (-5))^2 + (-4-3)^2)\\d = √((12)^2 + (-7)^2)\\d = √(144 + 49)\\d = √(193)\\`

The square root of 193 rounded to the nearest tenth is 13.9.
