Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula of distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂),
Distance = [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
1). Distance between (4, 1) and (2, 2) = [tex]\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(1-2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]
= 2.24
2). Distance between (-5, 2) and (-3, -2) = [tex]\sqrt{(-5+3)^2+(2+2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex]
= 4.47
3). Distance between (3, -4) and (-2, 1) = [tex]\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(-4-1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex]
= 7.07
4). Distance between (-1, -2) and (1, -4) = [tex]\sqrt{(1+1)^2+(-4+2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex]
= 2.83
5). Distance between (5, -2) and (-1, -1) = [tex]\sqrt{(5+1)^2+(-2+1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex]
= 6.08
Therefore, increasing order of the distance will be 2.24 > 2.83 > 4.47 > 6.08 > 7.07
