Question

Find the distance between the points ( - 5, 5) and (-2, 3). Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

D=√13(Decimal: 3.605551)

3.6

Explanation:

Let's find the distance between your two points.

(−5,5);(−2,3)

(x1,y1)=(−5,5)

(x2,y2)=(−2,3)

Use the distance formula:

D=√(x2−x1
`)^(2)`+(y2−y1
`)^(2)`

=√(−2−−5
`)^(2)`+(3−5
`)^(2)`

=√(3
`)^(2)`+(−2
`)^(2)`

=√9+4

=√13

D=√13(Decimal: 3.605551)
