http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance - just plug into this formula, use wolframalpha.com or another computing program to help you see where your errors in rounding are

Answer 4

brandoduh, you didn't you use the right formula! :)

Answer 5

You found the midpoint of these two coordinates, they ask for the distance.

Answer 6

oh no?:(

Answer 7

i got -4,2

Answer 8

It says: What is the distance between the coordinates (-6,4) and (-4,2)? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

What is the distance!
To find the distance between two points, do you know the formula?

And it's definitely not -4.2, remember, a distance can't be negative.

Answer 9

aha, yah i forgot.

Answer 10

\[\huge \sqrt{({x_{1}}-{x_{2}})+({y_{2}}-{y_{1}}})\]

Answer 11

Uh, it's x2 - x1, made a little mistake there

Answer 12

ok so its
(-6,-4) + (4,2)

Answer 13

\[\large x_{1}~is~the~value~of~x~of~the~first~coordinate\]\[\large x_{2}~is~the~value~of~x~of~the~second~coordinate\]\[\large y_{1}~is~the~value~of~y~of~the~first~coordinate\]\[\large y_{2}~is~the~value~of~y~of~the~second~coordinate\]
