Determine the distance between (−7, 3) and (−2, 9). Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (Do NOT type in any letters for your answers- just type in the numbers)
Using the distance formula, we have:
d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
d = √[(-2 - (-7))^2 + (9 - 3)^2]
d = √[5^2 + 6^2]
d = √61
d ≈ 7.8
Therefore, the distance between (-7, 3) and (-2, 9) is approximately 7.8 units.
