Answer:

14 units

Explanation:

you count rise over run so you move down from point a until you are on the same y value as b and the the distance from there to b so you go down 6 units and right 8 units which all together is 14 units

hope this helps!

Answer:

AB = 10

Explanation:

Given:

Two points are given
A(-5, 3) and
B(3, -3)

The distance formula of the two points is.


AB=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}

Put given values in above equation.


x=\sqrt{(3-(-5))^(2)+(-3-3)^(2)}


x=\sqrt{(3+5)^(2)+(-6)^(2)}


x=\sqrt{(8)^(2)+(-6)^(2)}


x=√(64+36)


x=√(100)


x=10

Therefore, the distance of the line AB is 10
