Answer 1

Given:

Point is (-5,4) and (-1,4)

Find-:

Distance between two-point

Explanation-:

Distance between two point is:

`D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Where,

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=\text{ First point} \\ \\ (x_2,y_2)=\text{ Second point} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-5,4) \\ \\ (x_2,y_2)=(-1,4) \end{gathered}`

So, the distance between two points is:

`\begin{gathered} D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \\ \\ D=√((-1-(-5))^2+(4-4)^2) \\ \\ D=√((-1+5)^2+(4-4)^2) \\ \\ \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} D=√((-1+5)^2+(4-4)^2) \\ \\ D=√(4^2+0^2) \\ \\ \\ D=√(4^2) \\ \\ D=4 \end{gathered}`

So, the distance is 4 units.
