HELP ASAP AND I KNOW ITS B OR C BUT I DUNNO WHAT ONE

What is the vertical distance between (7, –22) to (7, 12)?

–34 units
–10 units
10 units
34 units

Answer 1

the vertical distance between (7, –22) to (7, 12) is 10 units

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

since the x- coordinates of both points are 7 then the points lie on a vertical line.

the distance is then the absolute value of the difference of the y- coordinates, that is

distance = | - 22 - 12 | = | - 34 | = | 34 | = 34 units

or

distance = | 12 - (- 22) | = | 12 + 22 | = | 34 | = 34 units
