Answer:
Distance = 7.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In coordinate geometry, the distance between the 2 points is given by
[tex]Distance = \sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2} + (y1-y2)^{2} }[/tex]
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of the 2 points.
Above the 2 points given are, (-2,-1) and (3,5).
x1 = -2 , y1 = -1 , x2 = 3, y2 = 5
[tex]Distance = \sqrt{((-2)-(3))^{2} + ((-1)-(5))^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]Distance = \sqrt{61}[/tex]
Distance = 7.8102 units
To the nearest tenth, Distance = 7.8 units
