Point P has coordinates (-4,-2)and point Q has coordinates (4,3). ( on a 1cm grid ) Calculate the shortest distance between P and Q.
Give your answer to 1 decimal place

PQ ≈ 9.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(- 4, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(4, 3)

PQ =

     =

     =

     =

     ≈ 9.4 cm ( to 1 dec. place )
