The points M(-10, 3) and P(-4,-8) are graphed on the coordinate plane. To the nearest tenth of a unit, what is the distance between points Mand P? Round to the nearest
tenth.

Given:

The two points are M(-10, 3) and P(-4,-8).

To find:

The distance between the points M and P.

Solution:

Distance formula:

Using the distance formula, the distance between the given points is

On further simplification, we get

Therefore, the distance between the given points M and P is 12.5 units.

step-by-step explanation:
