find the distance between (2, 3) and (-4, -9) round the answer to the nearest hundredth
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
Let's plug in the values:
Distance = √((-4 - 2)² + (-9 - 3)²)
Distance = √((-6)² + (-12)²)
Distance = √(36 + 144)
Distance = √180
Distance ≈ 13.42
Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth, the distance between (2, 3) and (-4, -9) is approximately 13.42.
