Question

Distance Formula
d = 1(x, - x) + (yz – y.)
Find the distance between the points (-9,-2) and (-1,4). Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Identify the x and  the y

x1= -9

x2=-1

y1= -2

y2= 4

2- solve the equation:

d=$\sqrt$((-1)-(-9))$^{2}$  + (4-(-2))$^{2}$

d= $\sqrt$(8)$^{2}$        + (6)$^{2}$

= $\sqrt$64        + 36

= $\sqrt$100

d=10.0 answer to the nearest Tenth
