points?

Answer 1

D=6

Explanation:

A quick and easy way to find the distance between these points is to use the distance formula: d= √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2, where (x1,x2) and (y1,y2) are the coordinates of the first and second point. (It doesn't matter which point is (x1,x2) or (y1,y2), just stay consistent)

Plug in the coordinates:

d= √(0-(-6)^2+ (8-8)^2

Simplfy

d=√(6)^2+(0)^2

d=√36

d= 6
