Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length between (−1, 6) and (5, −2) . Round to the nearest tenth
First, let's find the difference in the x-coordinates and the difference in the y-coordinates:
x-coordinate difference: 5 - (-1) = 6
y-coordinate difference: -2 - 6 = -8
Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the two points:
Distance = √(6^2 + (-8)^2)
Distance = √(36 + 64)
Distance = √100
Distance = 10
Therefore, the length between (-1, 6) and (5, -2) is approximately 10 units.
