Answer:
≈ 10.6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(- 5, 6)
PQ = [tex]\sqrt{(-5-3)^2+(6+1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-8)^2+7^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{64+49}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{113}[/tex] ≈ 10.6 ( to 1 dec. place )
