Question

What is the distance between the points (-6, 2) and (-4, 7)? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

5.385

Explanation:

Use the distance formula with (-6,2) (-4,7)

`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2 + (y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }`

`√((-4--6)^2 + (7-2)^2 )`

`√((2^2) + (5^2))`

`√(4+25)`

`√(29)`

= 5.385
