Question

Find the distance between two points
(2, -3) and (2,4).

Answer 1

The distance between the two points is 7 units

Explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

`d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}`

we have

(2, -3) and (2,4)

substitute the values in the formula

`d=\sqrt{(4+3)^(2)+(2-2)^(2)}`

`d=\sqrt{(7)^(2)+(0)^(2)}`

`d=7\ units`
