Question

On the coordinate plane below, Point P is located at (2,-3), and point Q is located at (-4,4).

Find the distance between points P and Q Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the distance formula

d = sqrt (   ( y2-y1)^2 + ( x2-x1) ^2)

d = sqrt (   ( 4- -3)^2 + ( -4 -2) ^2)

   = sqrt (  ( 7^2  + ( -6)^2)

   = sqrt( 49+ 36)

   = sqrt(85)

      9.219544457

Rounding to the nearest whole number

 = 9
