Question

What is the distance between the points (-16,18) and (-16,-14)

Answer 1

x axis = 0

y axis= 32

(0,32)

Explanation:

Answer 2

32

Explanation:

The distance formula is

y = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

But x1 = x2 so the x terms drop out.

distance = sqrt(y2 - y1)^2

distance = (y2 - y1)

Let y2 = 18

Let y1 = - 14

distance = (18 - (-14) )

distance = 18 + 14

distance = 32
