Question

Find the distance between the points (4,10) and (4, -7)

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

Hello There!

Once again we are going to use the distance formula to find the answer

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

This time we need to find the distance between the points (4,10) and (4,-7)

*we plug in the values into the formula)

`d=√((4-4)^2+(-7-10)^2) \\4-4=0\\-7-10=17\\d=√(0^2+(-17)^2) \\0^2=0\\-17^2=289\\√(289) =17`

so we can conclude that the distance between the points (4,10) and (4,-7) is 17 units
