Question

How can I find the distance between (-7, 8) and (7, 8)?

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2)+(y2-y1)^(2)}`

with (-7,8) being point 1 and (7,8) being point 2

Let me help you solve this:

`\sqrt{(7- -7)^(2)+(8-8)^(2)}`

`\sqrt{(7+7)^(2)}}`

√49

=7

The distance between these 2 points is 7 units.

Hope this helps! :)
