Question

6. Find the distance between each pair of points (-8,-2) and (6,-1).Round to the nearest

hundredth.

Answer 1

√197

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 14.04 units

Explanation:

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

`d = \sqrt{ ({x_1 - x_2})^(2) + ({y_1 - y_2})^(2) } \\`

where

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

From the question the points are

(-8,-2) and (6,-1).

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{ ({ - 8 - 6})^(2) + ({ - 2 + 1})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{( { - 14})^(2) + ( { - 1})^(2) } \\ = √(196 + 1) \\ = √(197) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 14.0356...`

We have the final answer as

14.04 units to the nearest hundredth
