Question

Fellow 9. What is the distance between (-3, 4) and (5, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer: The exact distance is
`√(73)` units

The approximate distance is roughly 8.5440037 units

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula

`(x_1,y_1) = (-3,4)\\\\(x_2,y_2) = (5,1)\\\\d = √((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)\\\\d = √((-3-5)^2 + (4-1)^2)\\\\d = √((-8)^2 + (3)^2)\\\\d = √(64 + 9)\\\\d = √(73)\\\\d \approx 8.5440037\\\\`

As an alternative, you can use the pythagorean theorem.
