To answer this question we're going to need to use the distance formula, which is
d = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)
We are given two points:
(x1, y1) = (-2, 1)
(x2, y2) = (-5, 3)
d = √((-5 - (-2))2 + (3 - 1)2)
= √((-3)2 + (2)2)
= √(9 + 4)
= √(13)
≈ 3.6056
Since it says to round to the nearest tenth, the distance between the 2 points is
3.6 units
d=3.6
