Find the distance between (−8, −3)
and (−2, −5)
. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.(1 point)
Using the distance formula, we have:
distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
distance = sqrt((-2 - (-8))^2 + (-5 - (-3))^2)
distance = sqrt((6)^2 + (-2)^2)
distance = sqrt(36 + 4)
distance = sqrt(40)
distance ≈ 6.32
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the distance between the two points is approximately 6.32.
