Question

Find the distance between the two points. Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the hundredths place if needed.

Answer 1

We need to find the distance between the two points given. Use the distance formula:

`d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}`

Replace using P1(3,-9) and P2(-2,4):

`d=\sqrt[]{((-2)_{}-3_{})^2+(4_{}-(-9)_{})^2}`

`d=\sqrt[]{(-5)^2+(13)^2}`
`d=13.9283`

Rounded to the hundredths:

`d=13.93`
