Answer:
≈ 2.2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 7, 4)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(-7+6)^2+(4-2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-1)^2+2^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{1+4}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ≈ 2.2 ( to the nearest tenth )
