Question

What is the distance of the line?
Remember the distance formula is (23 - 23) + (42 -

Answer 1

The distance of the line is 10.82

Explanation:

Distance Between two Points in the Plane

Given two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

The graph clearly shows the points (-5,4) (4,-2), thus the distance is:

`d=√((4-(-5))^2+(-2-4)^2)=√(9^2+(-6)^2)`

`d=√(81+36)=√(117)=10.82`

The distance of the line is 10.82
