Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 2, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(4, 8)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(8-9)^1}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{36+1}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex] ≈ 6.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
