Question

Distance between points (-3, 1) and (5, -2) rounded to the nearest tenth. ​

Answer 1

d ≈ 8.5

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Simply plug in our 2 coordinates into the formula:

d = √[(5 + 3)² + (-2 - 1)²]

d = √[(8)² + (-3)²]

d = √(64 + 9)

d = √73

d = 8.544

d ≈ 8.5
