HELP ASAP PLEASE

The expression |-2-(-3) can be used to find the difference between point A and which other point?

A. Point B
B. Point C
C. Point D
D. Point E

Answer 1

C. Point D

Explanation:

Distance between two points

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

`d=√((z-y)^2+(w-x)^2)`

If both points have the same y-coordinate (y=z), then

`d = |w - x|`

Point A has coordinates (-2,3). Point D has coordinates (-3,3). The distance between them is

`d = | -2 - (-3) |`

Thus the correct choice is

C. Point D
