(0,−9) and (−4,−3)
Using the formula for calculating distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we have:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the values from the given points, we get:
Distance = sqrt((-4 - 0)^2 + (-3 - (-9))^2)
Distance = sqrt((-4)^2 + (-3 - (-9))^2)
Distance = sqrt((-4)^2 + (-3 + 9)^2)
Distance = sqrt((-4)^2 + (6)^2)
Distance = sqrt(16 + 36)
Distance = sqrt(52)
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the distance between the two points is approximately 7.2.
