Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

3. 8.60 units

Explanation:

Distance from point M(-2, 4) to point N(5, -1) can be calculated using the distance formula,
`d = \sqrt{(x_(2) - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}`

M(-2, 4) => (x1, y1)

N(5, -1) => (x2, y2)

Plug in the values into the formula

`d = √((5 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 4)^2)`

`d = √((7)^2 + (-5)^2)`

`d = √(49 + 25)`

`d = √(74)`

`d = 8.60 units`
