Find the distance between (2,3) and (-4,-9) round to nearest hundredth
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
In this case, our points are (2,3) and (-4,-9).
So, x1 = 2, y1 = 3, x2 = -4, and y2 = -9.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Distance = √[(-4 - 2)^2 + (-9 - 3)^2]
Distance = √[(-6)^2 + (-12)^2]
Distance = √[36 + 144]
Distance = √180
Distance ≈ 13.42
Therefore, the distance between the points (2,3) and (-4,-9) is approximately 13.42 units.
