Question

(-5,5) (7,8)

Answer 1

Hey! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the distance between the points (-5,5) & (7, 8) = (x1,y1) & (x2,y2). We obtain the distance by using the distance formula such that

d = √(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)² = √(7-(-5))² + (8-5)² = √(144+9) = √(153) = 12.3693 = 12.4 (to the nearest tenth)



I hope this helped!
