Use the distance formula to find the distance between each pair of points. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
C(-5, -3), D(-4, -2)
Answer (2)
C ( − 5 , − 3 ) , D ( − 4 , − 2 ) D i s t an ce F or m u l a : G i v e n t h e tw o p o in t s ( x 1 , y 1 ) an d ( x 2 , y 2 ) , t h e d i s t an ce b e tw ee n t h ese p o in t s i s g i v e n b y t h e f or m u l a : d = ( x 2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1 ) 2 d = ( − 4 − ( − 5 ) ) 2 + ( − 2 − ( − 3 ) ) 2 d = ( − 4 + 5 ) 2 + ( − 2 + 3 ) 2 d = 1 2 + 1 2 d = 1 + 1 = 2 ≈ 1.4
The distance between points C(-5, -3) and D(-4, -2) is approximately 1.4 units, calculated using the distance formula.
