Question

What is the distance between M(–4, 2) and N(6, –3)?

Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

`\text {Distance =} √((Y_2-Y_1)^2+(X_2-X_1)^2)`


`\text {Distance =} √((2-(-3))^2+(-4-6)^2)`


`\text {Distance =} √((5))^2+(-10)^2)`


`\text {Distance =} √(125)`


`\text {Distance =} 11.2 \text { units}`

Answer 2

Use distance formula to find this. You should end up with the square root of 125. Which is 11.2
