Question

Find the distance between point E and point F

Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this. (You could also use the distance formula, but because the x coordinates are the same, these are the two easiest ways).

Method 1: counting.

Count the distance. This is shown in the picture attached. This is the easiest way to do it.

Method 2: solve.

the two coordinates of the points are (-3,3) and (-3,-3). Because the x value is the same, (x,y), you can subtract the y values: 3- (-3) = 6.

Answer 2

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We could apply the distance formula, but counting out the spaces is much faster. There are 6 units between the two points, so the distance is 6.

Another alternative is to subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value to ensure the result isn't negative.
