Question

Find the distance between the points (0,–1) and (0,–11).Question 4 options:1191012

Answer 1

We are given the following points:

`(0,-1);(0,-11)`

We can use the formula for the euclidean distance:

`d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}`

Where:

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,-1) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(0,-11) \end{gathered}`

Replacing the values:

`d=\sqrt[]{(0-0)^2+(-11-(-1))^2}`

Solving we get:

`d=\sqrt[]{(-11+1)^2}`

Solving the square root

`d=-11+1=10`

Therefore, the distance is 10.
