Find the distance between the two points. Round an approximate result to the nearest hundredth.
(-4, -1) and (-8, -4)

Find the distance between the two points. Round an approximate result to the nearest hundredth.
(-4, -1) and (-8, -4)
-----
dist = sqrt[(-8--4)^2 + (-4--1)^2]
---
dist = sqrt[16 + 9]
---
dist = 5
