Question

The coordinates of point R are (-6,4) The coordinates of point S are (3,4) Witch expression represents the distance, in units, between point R and Point S

A: |-6| + |3|
B: |-6| - |3|
C: |-6| + |4|
D: |-6| - |4|

Help I'm being timed!!

Answer 1

A) |-6| + |3|

Explanation:

Since the y-coordinates are the same, we need to find the distance between -6 and 3. This would thus be equal to |-6|+|3| making A the correct answer.
