Question 4

What is the distance between the points (-6, 7) and
(-1, 1)? Round to the nearest whole unit.

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

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

(-6, 7) is now point 1

2.) -6 =
`x_(1)` & 7 =
`y_(1)`

(-1, 1) is now point 2

3.)
`d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}`

4.)
`d = \sqrt{[-1 - (-6)]^(2) + (1-7)^(2) }`

5.)
`d=\sqrt{(5)^(2) + (-6)^(2) }`

6.)
`d=√(25+36)`

7.)
`d=√(61)`

8.)
`d`≈
`7.8`

7.8 rounded to the nearest whole is ROUGHLY 8
