Question

Solve the following problem: What is the distance from (-13,12) to (-13,-77)

Answer 1

89

Explanation:

we are to find the distance between (-13, 12) and (-13, -77). notice that the x-coordinate stays the same so we only have to find the distance from the y-coordinates.

the difference between the two y-coordinates are:

12 - (-77) = 12 + 77 = 89

so, 89 is our distance.
