Question

What is the distance between the points -3, 5 and -3,-9?

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

14

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

`x=√((X_2-X_1)^2+(Y_2-Y_1)^2)`

`x=√((-3--3)^2+(-9-5)^2)`

`x=√((-3+3)^2+(-14)^2)`

`x=√((0^2+14^2))`

`x=√(14^2=14)`

Final answer is 14.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

the distance is 14

Explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points, we can use the distance formula

d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1) ^2 )

d = sqrt( (-3--3)^2 +(-9-5) ^2 )

= sqrt( (-3+3)^2 + (-14)^ 2)

= sqrt(0^2 +14^2)

= sqrt( 14^2)

= 14
