Question

the coordinates of point q are (-9, 4). the coordinates of point r are (3, -7). determine the length of segment qr. enter the coordinates of the two given points and then calculate the distance between them. coordinates (x₁, y₁) of point q: (?,?) coordinates (x₂, y₂) of point r: (?,?) d = √((x₂ - x₁)²+(y₂ - y₁)²) d = √( ( )²+( )²) d = the length of segment qr is yards

Explanation:

Answer:

Coordinates \((x_1,y_1)\) of point Q: \((- 9,4)\)
Coordinates \((x_2,y_2)\) of point R: \((3,-7)\)
\(d=\sqrt{(3 - (-9))^{2}+((-7)-4)^{2}}\)
\(d=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(-11)^{2}}\)
\(d=\sqrt{144 + 121}=\sqrt{265}\approx16.28\)
The length of segment QR is \(\sqrt{265}\) yards
