Question

Algebra II Part 2
Find the distance from Point A (6.-7) to Point B (6,9).
units

Answer 1

16 units

Explanation:

We can use the distance formula to find the distance between the 2 points given. The distance formula is:

`√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`x_1=6\\x_2=6\\y_1=-7\\y_2=9`

From the given coordinates.

Now, substituting the values, we can find the distance using the formula. Shown below:

`√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2) \\=√((9-(-7))^2+(6-6)^2) \\=√((9+7)^2+0)\\=√(16^2)\\ =√(256) \\=16`

hence, the distance = 16 units
