Question

on a cm grid, point P has coordinates (3,-1) and point Q has coordinates (-5,6) calculate the shortest distance between P and Q Give your answer to 1 decimal place

Answer 1

PD = 10.6

Explanation:

Point P has coordinates (3,-1) and point Q has coordinates (-5,6)

(3 - (-5) ) = 8

-1 - 6 = -7

PD = √8^2 + (-7)^2

PD = √(64 + 49)

PD = √113

PD = 10.6
