Question

How far away is {-4,-6} away from {5,-6} on a coordinate grid

Answer 1

(-4, -6) and (5, -6) are 9 units away from each other on a coordinate grid.

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

• 
  `\displaystyle d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We are given the points (-4, -6) and (5, -6). Substitute these points into the formula:

• 
  `d = √((5-(-4))^2+(-6-(-6))^2)`
• 
  `d=√((5+4)^2+(-6+6)^2)`
• 
  `d=√((9)^2+(0)^2)`
• 
  `d=√(9^2)`
• 
  `d=9`

The distance between (-4, -6) and (5, -6) on a coordinate plane is 9 units.
