1. Determine the distance between (-3,1) and (5,-6). Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Show all work.

My answer: (-3-5)^2 + (1-6)^2
= (-8)^2 + (-5)^2
= 9.4^2 (89)

I feel like I made a mistake in this. Can someone check my work? :)

(-3-5)^2 + (1-(-6))^2
(-8)^2 + (7)^2
= 64+49
= 113 =10.6^2
Is this right?
