Question

3. What is the distance between the points (4, 5) and (-3, 5)?

7 units
8 units
1 units
10 units

Answer 1

To calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we use the distance formula:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the values, we get:

d = sqrt((-3 - 4)^2 + (5 - 5)^2)
d = sqrt((-7)^2 + 0^2)
d = sqrt(49)
d = 7

The distance between the points (4, 5) and (-3, 5) is 7 units.

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

you use your fingers and count down from 4 to -3 and you get 7.
