Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance from one x coordinate to the other. Remember subtracting by a negative is the same as adding a positive

-18-(-18)

-18+18

0

There is no distance away from the x value so the distance we need to count is from the y value

-1-(-6)

-1+6

5

The distance between the two points is 5.

Answer:

5

Explanation:

D² = ( x2 - x1 )² + ( y2 - y1 )²

= [ (-18) - (-18) ]² + [ (-1) - (-6) ]²

= ( -1 + 6 )²

D² = ( 5 )²

hence, D = 5
