Answer:

(-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.
