Answer:
≈ 7.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the length using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, - 2)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(-7-0)^2+(-2+1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{49+1}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex] ≈ 7.07
