Question

Point A and point C are located on the coordinate grid below. A non-integer answer should be entered as a decimal, rounded to the hundredths place. The distance between point A and point C is approximately how many units

Answer 1

The distance is 16.28 units

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for grid

Required

Distance AC

From the attachment:

`A = (-7,6)`

`C = (5,-5)`

Distance (d) is calculated using:

`d = \sqrt{(y_2 - y_1)^2 + (x_2 - x_1)^2`

This gives:

`d = \sqrt{(-5 - 6)^2 + (5 - (-7))^2`

`d = \sqrt{121 + 144`

`d = 16.28`
