Answer:

The distance between -1,12 and -1,-3 is 15

Explanation:

Simplify-

Multiply −1 by −1.

√(−1+1)^2 + ((−3) −12)^2

Add −1 and 1.

√0^2 + ((−3) −12)^2

Raising 0 to any positive power yields 0.

√0 + ((−3) −12)^2

Subtract 12 from −3.

√0 + (−15)^2

Raise −15 to the power of 2.

√0 + 225

Add 0 and 225.

√225

Rewrite 225 as 15^2.

√15^2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

=15
