Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (-6, -5) and (2, 0)

Answer 1

The answer is

9.4 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

`d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) } \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-6, -5) and (2, 0)

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{ ({ - 6 - 2})^(2) + ({ - 5 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 8})^(2) + ( { - 5})^(2) } \\ = √(64 + 25) \\ = √(89) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 9.4339811`

We have the final answer as

9.4 units to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
