Question

1. Find the Distance. Round to the nearest tenths.
(-4, 6) and (3, -7)

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

$(4, 6) = (x _1 , y_1) \\ (3, -7) = (x_2 \: y_2) \\ \\ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2} + (y_2 - y_1)^{2} }$

Plug in the given values

$d = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^{2} + ( - 7 - 6)^{2} } \\ d = \sqrt{( - 1)^{2} + {( - 13)}^{2} } \\ d = \sqrt{1 + 169} \\ d = \sqrt{170} = 13.0$
