Use the distance formula below to answer the question:
Distance Formula
d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (Y₂ − y )²
Find the distance between the points (-1, 2) and (4, 0). Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d ≈ 5.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distance formula given

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0 )

d = [tex]\sqrt{(4-(-1))^2+(0-2)^2}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(-2)^2}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{5^2+4}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{25+4}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{29}[/tex]

  ≈ 5.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
