Question

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

To find the distance between the two points, we must use the distance formula

⇒ Distance Formula ⇒
`√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

• 
  `(x_1,y_1): one_.point_.on_. the_.line`
• 
  `(x_2,y_2):another_.point_.on_.the_.line`

Now let's consider the information:

• 
  `(x_1,y_1): (-10,-9)`
• 
  `(x_2,y_2):(-1,-5)`

Let's solve:

`Distance_.between_.EG = √((-5--9)^2+(-1--10)^2) =√(4^2+9^2)\\Distance_.between_.EG=√(16+81) \\Distance_.between_.EG =√(97) \\Distance_.between_.EG=9.85`

Thus by rounding to the nearest tenth

⇒ Answer: 9.9

Hope that helps!
