Question

What is the distance between points (3, 1) and (0, –5)? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

6.7082

Answer 2

rounded would be 6.7

Answer 3

use the point slope formula

Answer 4

I mean Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 5

Methodology: d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2] That should get you started on how to understand the problem.

Answer 6

thank you so much!

Answer 7

YES THAT FORMULA

Answer 8

Lol it's the distance formula oops

Answer 9

The difference of x's and the difference of y's form 2 legs of a right triangle and the distance is the hypotenuse. It's the distance formula, and it is also based on the Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 10

For this problem, it would be helpful to plot the points and draw the triangle. You don't have to do this eventually, but in the beginning it is VERY insightful. I strongly recommend that you do that to understand better.
