Using the distance formula you will get 22:
\| = radical
\|(1-1)^2 +(18 -(-4))
\|0^2+22^2 = \|484 =22
Since the square root of 484 is 22

Answer:

It would be 22 units.

Explanation:

Here, I used the distance formula. You can also count manually, but that's a pain. In case you don't know, the distance formula is this:

d =
√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

So, let's plug our numbers in.

d =
√((1 - 1)^2 + (18 - (-4))^2)

Subtract...

d =
√(0^2 + 22^2)

Exponents...

d =
√(0 + 484)

Add, but we'll only get 484. Then, square that...


√(484) = 22

There's your answer!
