I need to find the distance between two points, (6,-3) and (-1,4).

d = sqrt[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)]

I got that down to the sqrt of 98, which is the decimal 9.899494937, approximated at 9.9. Is this the right answer?

d^2 = 7^2 + 7^2 = 49*2

d = 7 sqrt 2
d = 9.899 etc yes

Thank you for taking the time to double check my work! God bless!

Yes, you've applied the distance formula correctly. To find the distance between two points, you can use the formula:

d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Let's plug in the values of the two points:

x1 = 6, y1 = -3
x2 = -1, y2 = 4

Now we can substitute these values into the formula:

d = sqrt[(-1 - 6)^2 + (4 - (-3))^2]
= sqrt[(-7)^2 + (7)^2]
= sqrt[49 + 49]
= sqrt[98]

The square root of 98 is indeed approximately 9.899494937, which can be rounded to 9.9. So your final answer is correct. The distance between the two points (6, -3) and (-1, 4) is approximately 9.9 units.
