Question

Find the distance between (-3,-1) and (4, 2). (Round up to the nearest hundredths.)

Answer 1

The answer is

7.61 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

`d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) } \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-3,-1) and (4, 2).

The distance is

`d = \sqrt{ ({ - 3 - 4})^(2) + ({ - 1 - 2})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 7})^(2) + ({ - 3 })^(2) } \\ = √(49 + 9) \\ = √(58) \\ = 7.615773`

We have the final answer as

7.61 units to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you
