Answer: The distance [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex] which reduces to 7.28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between these two coordinates, find the difference of the y coordinates and x coordinates and square them then add them together to find their square root.
The y coordinates are 1 and -1.
The x coordinates are -5 and 2.
So -1-1 = -2
-5 - 2= - 7 Find their absolute values.
The absolute value of -2 is 2 and the absolute value of -7 is 7.
2^2 + 7^2 = d^2 where d is the distance.
4 +49 = d^2
53= d^2
d= [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex]
d= 7.28
