Question

What is the distance between (-5, 4) and (-1, 4)?

Answer 1

D = 4

Explanation:

The distance between 2 points can be determined by the formula:

`D = √((y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2)`

We know that x1 and y1 are -5 and 4 respectively, and that x2 and y2 are -1 and 4, respectively.

`D = √((4-4)^2 + (-1-(-5))^2)` (Simplify)

`D = √((0)^2 + (-1+5)^2)\\D = √(4^2)\\D = √(16)\\D = 4`

Answer 2

The distance between (-5, 4) and (-1, 4) is 4
