Question

What is the distance from (-12,4) and (-12,-10 in m

Answer 1

14 m

Explanation:

given the points

(- 12, 4 ) and (- 12, - 10 )

Since the x- coordinates of both points are equal , both - 12 , then

the points lie on a vertical line

The distance (d) between them is then the absolute value of the difference in the y- coordinates , that is

d = | 4 - (- 10) | = | 4 + 10 | = | 14 | = 14 m

or

d = | - 10 - 4 | = | - 14 | = | 14 | = 14 m
