Answer 1

The formula for the distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

`d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}`

Determine the distance between points (-3, -8) and (-3,6).

`\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(-3-(-3))^2+(-8-6)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(0)^2+(-14)^2} \\ =14 \end{gathered}`

So distance between two points is 14.
