Q. Find the distance between the points (−7,−6) and (1,9). 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: 1−(−7)=8,Difference in y-coordinates: 9−(−6)=15.
Use Distance Formula: Use the distance formula: distance=((x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2). Substitute the differences: distance=(82+152)=(64+225)=289.
Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root of 289. 289=17.
