Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{97}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 2)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(-3-6)^2+(-2-2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-4)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{81+16}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{97}[/tex] ≈ 9.8 ( to 1 dec. place )
