Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth. (-1, 4) and (1, -1)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two point (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Therefore, the distance between (-1,4) and (1,-1) is

$d=\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(-1-4)^2}=\sqrt{4+25}=\sqrt{29}=5.4$
