If Nicholas is located at (-3,2) what is the distance to get to the grocery store?
Grocery store coordinates: (-1,1)

5****
distance between (-3,2) and (-1,1) is
√( (-1+3)^2 + (1-2)^2 )
= √5
= appr 2.236
does not show up in your choices.
Use the distance formula, along with the given points:
d= √(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d= √(-1+3)^2+(1-2)^2
d= √5
To find the distance between Nicholas's location (-3,2) and the grocery store's location (-1,1), you can use the distance formula in a Cartesian coordinate system.
The distance formula is given by:
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Where (x1, y1) represents Nicholas's coordinates (-3,2) and (x2, y2) represents the grocery store's coordinates (-1,1).
Plugging in the values, we have:
d = sqrt((-1 - (-3))^2 + (1 - 2)^2)
= sqrt((2)^2 + (-1)^2)
= sqrt(4 + 1)
= sqrt(5)
Therefore, the distance to get to the grocery store is sqrt(5), which is approximately 2.236 (rounded to three decimal places). So, the correct answer is 5.
