Answer: distance = √34
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the distance between two points on a straight line is expressed as
Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
Where
x2 represents final value of x on the horizontal axis
x1 represents initial value of x on the horizontal axis.
y2 represents final value of y on the vertical axis.
y1 represents initial value of y on the vertical axis.
From the graph given,
x2 = - 1
x1 = - 4
y2 = 4
y1 = - 1
Therefore,
Distance = √(- 1 - - 4)² + (4 - - 1)²
Distance = √(3² + 5²) = √(9 + 25) = √34 =
Distance = 5.83
