B) (4.7, -5.5) and (-3.3, -5.5)
C) (11/3, 4) and (−10/3, 4)
D) (-12, 5) and (2, 5)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A, D

Explanation:

The horizontal distance between the points is the difference of their x-coordinates.

A) 5.5 -(-6.5) = 12.0 . . . greater than 11

B) 4.7 -(-3.3) = 8.0

C) 11/3 -(-10/3) = 21/3 = 7

D) 2 -(-12) = 14 . . . greater than 11
