Question

What is the distance between (-8, 0) and (-5, -5)? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

5.83

Explanation:

Given data

x1= -8

y1= 0

x2= -5

y2= -5

The expression for the distance between two points is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((-5-(-8))²+(-5-0)²)

d=√((-5+8)²+(-5²)

d=√(3)²+25)

d=√9+25

d=√34

d= 5.83

Hence the distance between the points is 5.83
