what is the approximate distance between the points (-3, -4) and (-8,1) on a coordinate grid

Respuesta :

we have
points (-3, -4) and (-8,1)
we know that
the Distance Formula is represented by
[tex]d= \sqrt{ (y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]d= \sqrt{ (1+4)^{2} +(-8+3)^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (5)^{2} +(-5)^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{50} \\ d=7.07 units[/tex]

the answer is
7.07 units  or 5√2 units
