Question

Find the distance between the two points, to the nearest tenth (if necessary). (-3, 9) and (-9, 7)

Answer 1

Answer: 6.3 units

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

d = √(9 - 7)² + (-3 + 9)²

d = √(2)² + (6)²

d = √4 + 36

d = √40

d ≅ 6.3

The distance between (-3, 9) and (-9, 7) is about 6.3 units.
