Q. Find the distance between the points (5,−4) and (10,8). If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.____ units
Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates.Difference in x-coordinates: 10−5=5Difference in y-coordinates: 8−(−4)=12
Apply Distance Formula: Apply the distance formula: (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2.Substitute the differences: (5)2+(12)2
Calculate Squares: Calculate the squares of the differences.52=25122=144
Add and Find Square Root: Add the squares and find the square root.25+144=169169=13
