What is the distance between (-9,10) and (-5,9)
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using the given points (-9, 10) and (-5, 9) as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively, the formula becomes:
d = √((-5 - (-9))^2 + (9 - 10)^2)
= √((4)^2 + (-1)^2)
= √(16 + 1)
= √(17)
≈ 4.12
Therefore, the distance between (-9, 10) and (-5, 9) is approximately 4.12 units.
