What is the distance between the points (-3, 9) and (5, 1)? Round to the
nearest tenth, if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer: 11.3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, we will need the distance formula.

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} ) ^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

Since we know our x and y, we can plug them into this equation.

[tex]D=\sqrt{(5-(-3))^2+(1-9)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{64+64}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{128}[/tex]

[tex]D=11.3[/tex]

The distance between the points is 11.3.
