Answer:
3. 8.60 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from point M(-2, 4) to point N(5, -1) can be calculated using the distance formula, [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]
M(-2, 4) => (x1, y1)
N(5, -1) => (x2, y2)
Plug in the values into the formula
[tex] d = \sqrt{(5 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 4)^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-5)^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{49 + 25} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{74} [/tex]
[tex] d = 8.60 units [/tex]
