Question

What is the length of the segment connecting the points (−9, 3) and (−9, −2)?

Answer 1

Distance= 5

Explanation:

The length can be find if two coordinates are given by using distance formula

i.e For two given points:
`(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)`

Distance=
`√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

The given coordinates are :
`(-9, 3) and (-9, -2)`

Implementing the given points in the formula;

Distance=
`√((-9-(-9))^2+(-2-3)^2)`

`√((-9+9)^2+(-5)^2)\\ \\√(0+25) \\\\√(25)\\`

Distance= 5

The distance of points
`(-9, 3) and (-9, -2)` is '5'.
