Question

find the distance between (4/5, -1/2) and (2,0). express answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

the distance is the same as applying the pythag thrm

Answer 2

(distance of x)^2 + (distance of y)^2 = (distance between the points)^2

Answer 3

so distance = root((2-0.8)^2 + (0.4)^2))

Answer 4

( x , y )
( 2 , 0 )
-(4/5, -1/2)
-----------
( 6/5 , 1/2 )

\[\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=distance^2\]

Answer 5

\[\frac{36}{25}+\frac{1}{4}=d^2\]
\[\frac{144+25}{100}=d^2\]
\[\sqrt{\frac{169}{100}}=d\]
\[\frac{13}{10}=d=1.3\]
if I kept track of it all

Answer 6

so its 1.3?

Answer 7

yes..sorry

Answer 8

as far as I can see, I dont see any mistakes; so im going with 1.3
