Answer:

Distance = |b - c|

Explanation:

Suppose a, b, and c are all negative numbers.

We have to describe the way to find the distance between points (a,b) and (a.c).

Since the x-coordinates of the two points are the same and are a, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinates of the two points will give the distance between the two points.

Mathematically the distance d will be given by d = |b - c|, where |x| is the absolute value function of x. (Answer)
