Question

What is the distance between the points (-3, 4) and (5,4)?

8 units
7 units
1 unit
9 units

Answer 1

8 units :):):):):):););)):

Answer 2

8 units

solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-3,4)---->(X1,y1)

B(5,4)----->(x2,y2)

now,

Distance:

`\sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^(2) + {(y2 - y1)}^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {(5 - ( - 3))}^(2) + (4 - 4) ^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {(5 + 3)}^(2) + {(0)}^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {(8)}^(2) + 0} \\ = √(64) \\ = \sqrt{ {(8)}^(2) } \\ = 8 \: units`

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
