The distance between the points X(−4,3) and Y(2,−7) rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.7 units
Distance between two points
The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as:
D = √(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²
Given the coordinate points X(−4,3) and Y(2,−7)
Substitute
XY = √(-7-3)²+(2+4)²
XY = √(-10)²+(6)²
XY = √100+36
XY = √136
XY = 11.7 units
Hence the distance between the points X(−4,3) and Y(2,−7) rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.7 units
