Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth.
A(-7, -3), S(-5, 4)
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates of point A(-7, -3) for (x1, y1) and the coordinates of point S(-5, 4) for (x2, y2), we get:
Distance = √((-5 - (-7))^2 + (4 - (-3))^2)
= √((2)^2 + (7)^2)
= √(4 + 49)
= √53
≈ 7.3
Therefore, the distance between the two points A(-7, -3) and S(-5, 4) is approximately 7.3 units.
To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Given points:
A(-7, -3)
S(-5, 4)
Let's substitute the coordinates into the distance formula:
d = √((-5 - (-7))^2 + (4 - (-3))^2)
= √((-5 + 7)^2 + (4 + 3)^2)
= √(2^2 + 7^2)
= √(4 + 49)
= √53
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the distance between points A and S is approximately 7.3.
