The correct Answer is:
To find the distance between the points \((\frac{3}{5}, 2)\) and \((- \frac{1}{5}, \frac{2}{5})\), we can use the distance formula. The distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] ### Step 1: Identify the points Let: - Point A: \((x_1, y_1) = \left(\frac{3}{5}, 2\right)\) - Point B: \((x_2, y_2) = \left(-\frac{1}{5}, \frac{2}{5}\right)\) ### Step 2: Substitute the coordinates into the distance formula Substituting the coordinates into the formula, we have: \[ d = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{1}{5} - \frac{3}{5}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{2}{5} - 2\right)^2} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the x-coordinates Calculate \(x_2 - x_1\): \[ -\frac{1}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = -\frac{4}{5} \] Now square this result: \[ \left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{25} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the y-coordinates Calculate \(y_2 - y_1\): \[ \frac{2}{5} - 2 = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{10}{5} = -\frac{8}{5} \] Now square this result: \[ \left(-\frac{8}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{64}{25} \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now substitute back into the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25} + \frac{64}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{80}{25}} = \sqrt{3.2} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the square root We can simplify \(\sqrt{3.2}\): \[ \sqrt{3.2} = \sqrt{\frac{32}{10}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the distance between the points \((\frac{3}{5}, 2)\) and \((- \frac{1}{5}, \frac{2}{5})\) is: \[ d = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5} \]
