Question

What’s the distance between points n(-1,-11) and p(-1,-3)

Answer 1

8 units

Explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

`D=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-11)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (-1,-3)`

Replacing these values in the distance formula

`D =√((-1-(-1))^2+(-11-(-3)^2)`

`D =√((-1+1)^2+(-11+3)^2)`

`D =√((0)^2+(-8)^2)`

`D =√(0+64)`

`D =√(64)`

`D= 8`

Hence the Distance is 8 units
