Find the distance between the points (0, –1) and (3, –3).
a. 25
b. 5
c. √13
d. 13

C. √13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by

d =sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

  = sqrt( (3-0)^2 + (-3--1)^2)

  = sqrt( 3^2 + (-3+1)^2)

  = sqrt( 9+(-2)^2)

  = sqrt( 9+4)

  = sqrt(13)

To answer this, you basically use Pythagoras' Theroem, but instead of:

it will be :

So you are finding the squareroot of the (difference in y coordinates)² plus (difference in x coordinates) ²:

x is the x-coordinate of (0, -1)      (so x = 0)

y is the y-coordinte of (0, -1)        ( so y = -1)

x1 is the x coordinate of (3, -3)        ( so x1 = 3)

y1 is the y coordinate of (3, -3)        (so y1 = -3)

--------------------------------------------------

Now, lets find the distance between the two points, by substituting all of this values into the equation at the top:

   (substitute in values)

  (simplify: note -1 - - 3 = -1 + 3)

    (simplify)

          (now square the numbers)

                  (simplify)

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
