Question

On a coordinate plane, point A is located at (7, 4), and point B is located at (-8, 4). What is the distance between the two points?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

The distance formula is:

d=
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_{1)^(2)-(y_(2)+y_(1)^(2) )`

Given the problem, you must do (-8-7) squared plus (4-4) squared. The result of that is 225, and the square root of 225 is 15.

Answer 2

Using Pythagorean Theorem, the distance between the two points is 15 units
