Answer:
Explanation:
Look at the given points C and D on the graph : 
 
A coordinate plane graph is shown. Point C is at (-5,-1) Point D is at (0,3). A segment connects the two points. 
 
What is the distance (in units) between points C (-5,-1) and D (0,3) ? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 
 
Group of answer choices 
 
a) 5.50 units 
 
b) 6.40 units 
 
c) 9.00 units 
 
d) 41.00 units 
 
TO FIND : 
 
The distance (in units) between points C (-5,-1) and D (0,3) 
 
SOLUTION : 
 
Given that a coordinate plane graph is shown. 
 
Point C is at (-5,-1) Point D is at (0,3). 
 
A segment connects the two points. 
 
Let the points C (-5,-1) and D (0,3) be and 
 
The distance formula for the given two points is given by : 
 
 units 
 
 
Substitute the points in the distance formula we get, 
 
 units 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
= 6.4031 
 
s = 6.40 units 
Option b) 6.40 is correct 
The distance between the given points C and D is 6.40 units.
