The y coordinates of each point are 8. Since they are the same number, we can subtract the x coordinates: 10-2 = 8
Alternatively, you can place the points on a number line and count out the number of spaces. You should count out 8 spaces.
So the distance between the two points is 8 units
This is equivalent to saying that the line segment is 8 units long.
Answer: A) 8 units
