Question

On the coordinate plan, what is the distance between the points (−1, −4) and (−1, −8)?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we subtract the x - x coordinates and y - y coordinates.

-1 - (-1) = 0

-8 - (-4) = -4

There was only a change in the y coordinates, so we will only account for this.

The distance between the points is four units.
