Answer:
8.54
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between 2 points
d = sqrt( y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points
d = sqrt((5--3)^2+ (-1--4)^2)
= sqrt((5+3)^2+ (-1+4)^2)
= sqrt((8)^2+ (3)^2)
= sqrt(64+ 9)
=sqrt (73)
=8.544003745
Rounding to the nearest hundredth
=8.54
ANSWER
The distance between the two points is 8.54 to the nearest hundredth.
EXPLANATION
We want to find the distance between the the points (-4, -3) and (-1, 5).
We use the distance formula;
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{( - 1 - -4)^2+(5- - 3)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{( 3)^2+(8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{9+64}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{73} [/tex]
[tex]d = 8.544[/tex]
To the nearest hundredth the distance is 8.54 units.
