what is the distance between (-3, 3) and (9, -2) round to the nearest tenth
To calculate the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Let's calculate the distance using the given coordinates:
Distance = sqrt((9 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2)
= sqrt((9 + 3)^2 + (-2 - 3)^2)
= sqrt(12^2 + (-5)^2)
= sqrt(144 + 25)
= sqrt(169)
= 13
Therefore, the distance between (-3, 3) and (9, -2) is approximately 13 units when rounded to the nearest tenth.
