Hi,
The distance between two points on the graph (d) is equal to the square root of the sum of the square of the horizontal distance (h) and the square of the vertical distance (v).
d = √(h^2 + v^2)
h = (-3) -( 4) = -7
v = (-3) - (-7) = 4
d = √((-7)^2 + (4)^2)
d = √(49 + 16)
d = √(65)
d= 8.06
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
What is the answer that you have? Is it in this form: √(65) ?
XXXXXXXX, the answer was correct the first time and the second time. It is the same answer only it was presented in a different form. Since you have not specified which form you want the answer to be in, the first answer is considered correct. However, you do not need to accept both answers. Just choose the one you think is better and click the accept button next to it. Thanks.
