Question

Determine the distance between (-3,1) (-5,-6). Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Show all your work

Answer 1

7.2

Explanation:

Distance formula :
`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2) +(y2-y1)^(2)`

Insert the coordinates to get
`\sqrt{(-5-(-3))^(2) +(-6-1)^(2)`

Simplify to get 7.280109889 → rounded to the nearset tenth 7.2
