Question 56022
(-3,-2) (1,4)
You can use the distance formula:
The distance 'd' between the points A = (x1, y1) and B = (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
.
D= SqRt of (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
.
x1 = -3 ; y1 = -2
x2 = 1  ; y2 = 4
.
D=SqRt of (1 - -3)^2 + (4 - -2)^2
D=SqRt of (4)^2 + (6)^2
D=SqRt of (16) + (36)
D=SqRt of 52
D=7.21
(that is an approimation rounded to the nearest hundredth)
SqRt means square root
^2 means that squared
