Question

Help, dont know the answer and confused. Explain!!!

Answer 1

The distance between point A and point B is 6.

Explanation:

Hey! The question asks you to find the distance between point A and point B. First, find here point A and B is located.

A = (-3, 2)

B = (3, 1)

Now that you have find the location, we would use the distance formula to find the distance between point A and B.

Distance Formula :-

`d \: = \sqrt{(x2 - x1) { }^(2) + (y2 - y1) {}^(2) }`

`d \: = \sqrt{(3 - ( - 3)) {}^(2) + (1 - 2) {}^(2) }`

`d \: = \sqrt{(6) {}^(2) + ( - 1) {}^(2) }`

`d \: = √(36 + 1)`

`d \: = √(37)`

d = 6.0827... = 6.0 or 6

*since it said to round the answer to the nearest tenth.*

This means that the distance between point A and B is about 6.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!

Answer 2

so this is asking how far away point a is from point b. if you know rise over run, you just need to go square by square and figure out the distance. it should be 1/6, and you would just need to turn it into a decimal and round if i am correct.

if that didn't explain it well, rise over run is used for plot point work like this. like if you were trying to figure out the decimal point for a plot point on a graph, you would "run" to either the left or right, then "rise" (i know rise means go up but it also works for when you go down). i don't know if this needs more clarification but i hope it helped !!
