Find the distance between (−8, −3)
and (−2, −5)
. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.(1 point)
units
The distance formula is √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
So,
√((-2 - (-8))^2 + (-5 - (-3))^2)
= √((-2 + 8)^2 + (-5 + 3)^2)
= √(6^2 + (-2)^2)
= √(36 + 4)
= √40
≈ 6.32 units
Therefore, the distance between (-8, -3) and (-2, -5) is approximately 6.32 units.
