Question

If point a is at (6,2 on coordinate plane and point B is located at (-4,2) what is the distance between the two points

explain please

Answer 1

Answer: 10

Explanation:

Since both points have the same y value, we just need to find the change of x, which would be the distance of the points.

Reading the points from left to right on an imaginary graph, point B would come first as it has the lesser x value.

To find the change of x subtract the x value of the second point from the first, so...

6 - (-4) = 10

The change of x = 10

The distance between the points is 10

Hope this helps!
