Question

What is the distance between (12, –7) and (–3, –7)?

Answer 1

15.9687194227 units between the 2 points

Answer 2

The distance between the two points is 15 units

Explanation:

the distance between (12, –7) and (–3, –7)

To find distance we use distance formula

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

(12, –7) is (x1,y1) and (–3, –7) is (x2,y2)

Now plug in the values in the formula

`Distance =√((-3-12)^2+(-7+7)^2)`

`Distance =√((-15)^2+(0)^2)`

`Distance =15`

The distance between the two points is 15 units
