Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

(6,-6) and (2,-2)

Answer 1

The answer is 5.7

Explanation:

To find the answer you would use the distance formula

`\sqrt({x}_(2) -{x}_{1 )^(2) + (Y_(2) - Y_(1))^(2)`

The square root of X2 minus X1 plus Y2 minus Y1

You are given 2 points which means that you have your Xs and Ys needed.

We will use (6,-6) as our X and Y 1

We will use (2,-2) as our X and Y 2

Now all you do is plug in the numbers

`√(2-(6)) + √(-2-(-6))` Square them both

Simplify

`√(-4) ^2+√(-4)^2`

Simplify again

-4 *-4 =16

4*4= 16

16+16= 32

Your answer is
`√(32)`

Or simplified 5.656

YOUR ANSWER IS: 5.7
