Answer: Sure,
Step-by-step explanation: d
=
√
17
or
d
=
4.1
rounded to the nearest 10th
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:
d
=
√
(
x
2
−
x
1
)
2
+
(
y
2
−
y
1
)
2
Substituting the two points from the problem and calculating gives the distance as:
d
=
√
(
1
−
2
)
2
+
(
−
5
−
−
1
)
2
d
=
√
(
−
1
)
2
+
(
−
4
)

d
=
√

d
=
√
17
d
=
4.1
rounded to the nearest 10th
