Question

What is the distance in units from (2, - 12) to (-11, - 12) on the coordinate place?

A: 9

B: 13

C: 14

D: 23

Answer 1

B: 13

Explanation:

we are given two points as

(2, - 12) and (-11, - 12)

so,

`x_1=2,y_1=-12`

`x_2=-11,y_2=-12`

now, we can use distance formula

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

now, we can plug values

`d=√((-11-2)^2+(-12+12)^2)`

`d=√((-11-2)^2+0)`

`d=13`

So,

The distance is 13
