Question

What’s the distance between (1, 7) and (-2, -4) please help

Answer 1

Exact distance =
`√(130)`

Approximate distance = 11.40175

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the distance formula

`d = √((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)\\\\d = √((1-(-2))^2+(7-(-4))^2)\\\\d = √((1+2)^2+(7+4)^2)\\\\d = √((3)^2+(11)^2)\\\\d = √(9+121)\\\\d = √(130) \ \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\d \approx 11.40175 \ \ \text{ ... approximate distance}\\\\`

Answer 2

the slope is 11/3

so distance is 130 or 11.4 in decimal form
