I NEED HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

there is a formula for finding distance,

distance = sqrt [ ( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 ]

where point P1 = (-9.-6)

in the form of (x1,y1)

and point P2 = (-2,-2)

in the form of (x2,y2)

then

distance = sqrt [ (-2-(-9))^2 + (-2-(-6))^2 ]

distance = sqrt [ (-2+9)^2 + (-2+6)^2 ]

distance = sqrt [
`7^(2)` +
`4^(2)` ]

distance =
`√(65)`

you can leave it in the form of
`√(65)` because that's the most accurate , but also can make a close approximation with 8.062257748

That's all the places my calculators goes out to, the numbers continue thou.
