Question

Find the distance between the points (-7,-6) and (5,-6) .

Answer 1

12 units

Explanation:

We are given these two points, (-7,-6) and (5,-6), and we are to find the distance between them.

We know the formula for finding the distance between two points:

Distance =
`√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

So putting in the values of the given coordinates in the above formula to get:

Distance =
`√((5-(-7))^2+(-6-(-6))^2)` =
`√(144 + 0)  =12`

Therefore, the distance between the two given points is 12 units.
