A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (-5,2) and your house is located at (-9,9). what is the distance, to the nearest unit, between your house and the subway stop?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:8Step-by-step explanation:Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formulad = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 9, 9)d = [tex]\sqrt{(-9+5)^2+(9-2)^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(-4)^2+7^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{16+49}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] ≈ 8 ( nearest unit )
