Question

How many units is (6,-3) from (6,8)?

Answer 1

Distance Formula:
`√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

`= √((8-(-3)^2+(6-6)^2) \\= √(11^2 + 0^2) \\= √(121) \\= 11~units\\`

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

11 units

Explanation:

Since the x coordinate is the same, we only have to look at the y coordinate

-3 -8 = -11

But distance is always positive

|-11| = 11

the distance is 11
