To the nearest tenth, what is the distance in units between the points (-2,5) and (4,1)

7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the distance formula in this.

The Distance formula says

The distance between two coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) is given by D , then

D= Sqrt { (d-b)^2+(c-a)^ }

Here

(a,b) =  (-2,5)

(c,d) =  ( 4,1)

Hence

D = sqrt { (5-1)^2+ ( 4-(-2))^2}

D = Sqrt { 4^2 + 6^2 }

D= Sqrt { 16+36 }

D = Sqrt 52

D= 7.211

Hence D=7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use this formula for calculate the distance between two points:

Given the point (-2,5) and  the point (4,1), you can identify that:

Now, substituting these coordinates into the formula, you get that the distance between the given points, to the nearest tenth, is:
