Question

Peter graphed two points given below on a coordinate plane.

(-6, 4), (3, 4)
What is the distance between the points?

Answer 1

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the y-coordinates are the same but the x-coordinates are different so -6 to 3 would be 9 because -6 to 0 is 6 and 0 to 3 is 3 and 3 + 6 equals 9

Answer 2

distance: 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf distance \ between \ points \ : \ √((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Here coordinates : (-6, 4), (3, 4)

substitute the following values and put into the equation

`\sf \rightarrow √((4-4)^2+(3-(-6))^2)`

`\sf \rightarrow √((3+6)^2)`

`\sf \rightarrow √(81)`

`\sf \rightarrow 9`
