Question

In the coordinate plane, what is the length of the line segment that connects points at (5,4) and (−3, −1) ?

Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Do do this problem you need to use the distance formula!


So, Plug in the points and solve:


`√( (-3-5)^2+(-1-4)^2)`

`√( (-8)^2+(-5)^2)`

`√( 64+25)`

`√(89)`
9.43

I hope this helps!
