Question

What is the distance between (1, 9) and (1, -4)? Use the distance formula.

D=(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

you have to substitute the values in the distance formula,in this case x2 is 1,x1 is 1,y2 is -4 and y1 is 9

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

=√(1-1)²+(-4-9)²

=√(0)²+(-13)²

=√169

=13

I hope this helps

Answer 2

D. 13

Explanation:

You just have to plug in numbers then solve.

(1,9) and (1,-4). Every coordinate is placed as (x,y)

(1,9) is labeled as (x1, y1)

(1,-4) is labeled as (x2,y2)

Now plug in the numbers.

d= Square root of (1-1)^2 + (-4-9)^2

d= Square root of 1^2 +-13^2

d= Square root of 1+169

d= Square root of 170

d= 13.04

Rounded to a whole number, the answer is 13
