Question

2. Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

(0,9), (-8, -4)
21
15.3
9.4
233​

Answer 1

15.3

Explanation:

The coordinates are (0,9) and (-8,-4)

Distance of two points formula:

`D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Plug in the values.

`D=√((-8-0)^2+(-4-9)^2)`

`D=√((-8)^2+(-13)^2)`

`D=√(64+169)`

`D=√(250)`

`D= 15.264338...`

`D \approx 15.3`

Answer 2

`\boxed{D = 15.8\ units}`

Explanation:

The coordinates are (0,9) and (-8,-4)

Distance Formula =
`√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

D =
`√((-8-0)^2+(-4-9)^2)`

D =
`√((-8)^2+(-13)^2)`

D =
`√(81+169)`

D =
`√(250)`

D = 15.8 units
