Question

What is the distance between the points (–8, –2) and (–7, –2)?

A.
1

B.
6

C.
10

D.
15

Answer 1

a=1

you run before you jump, and 7-8 is 1 the it is like saying
x 0
0 x there is one space in between the 0's

Answer 2

easy, since the y coordinat didn't change, y didn't move
only x moved
we just see how far x moved
-8 to -7
that is 1 distance

or ou could use distance formula

the distance between the points
(x1,y1) ad (x2,y2) is
D=
`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2)+(y2-y1)^(2)}`
points are
(-8,-2) and (-7,-2)
D=
`\sqrt{(-7-(-8))^(2)+(-2-(-2))^(2)}`
D=
`\sqrt{(1)^(2)+(0)^(2)}`
D=
`√(1+0)`
D=
`√(1)`
D=1
