3. Find the distance between points (-2,3) and (4,1). round to nearest tenth
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Given the points (-2,3) and (4,1), we have:
x1 = -2
x2 = 4
y1 = 3
y2 = 1
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
d = √((4 - (-2))^2 + (1 - 3)^2)
= √((4 + 2)^2 + (1 - 3)^2)
= √((6)^2 + (-2)^2)
= √(36 + 4)
= √40
≈ 6.3
Therefore, the distance between points (-2,3) and (4,1) rounded to the nearest tenth is approximately 6.3 units.
