Question

the points m(-10, 3) and p(-4, -8) are graphed on the coordinate plane. to the nearest tenth of a unit what is the distance between points m and p

Answer 1

Distance between points m and p = 12.53 unit (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Co-ordinate of points

m(-10, 3)

p(-4, -8)

Find:

Distance between points m and p

Computation:

Distance between two points = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²

Distance between points m and p = √(-10 + 4)² + (3 + 8)²

Distance between points m and p = √(-6)² + (11)²

Distance between points m and p = √36 + 121

Distance between points m and p = √157

Distance between points m and p = 12.53 unit (Approx.)
