Question

Point A is located at (-4,\ 9)(−4, 9) on the coordinate plane. Point B is located at (-4,\ -7)(−4, −7). ​What is the distance between Point A and Point B?

Answer 1

AB = 16 units

Explanation:

Given the coordinate (-4, 9) and (-4, -7)

Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points

AB = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

AB =√(-7-9)²+(-4+4)²

AB = √(-16)²+0²

AB = √16²

AB = 16 units

Hence the distance between Point A and Point B is 16 units
