Question

Find the distance between point A and point B. A coordinate plane is shown with point A located at left-parenthesis negative 4 comma negative 3 right-parenthesis and point B located at left-parenthesis negative 4 comma 4 right-parenthesis. A. 5 units B. 6 units C. 7 units D. 8 units

Answer 1

Answer: 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points, (-4,-3) and (-4,4). The X values are both the same (-4). This means we will be working with the Y values. We need to find the distance between -3 and 4. We can use inverse operations to assist us. -3 + 7 = 4. Therefore, we know the distance between these two points is 7 units.
