Question

Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B?

Answer 1

d = √5

Explanation:

**I am assuming that the numbers you gave are x and y coordinates**

We can use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points.

d √{(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²}

Point A: (-6, 8)

Point B: (-1 8)

Substitute: d = √{(-1 - (-6))² + (8 - 8)²}

Simplify: d = √{(5)² + (0)²}

d = √(25 + 0)

d = √5
