Answer: A.) 4

Explanation:

Given the following:

Horizontal line y = 5

Point (6, 9)

Distance between point (6, 9) and horizontal line y = 5

For point (6,9) ; x1 = 6, y1 = 9

Horizontal line : y = 5

Hence, distance between the two points will be the difference between the the y values :

y1 - y = 9 - 5 = 4

Hence, the distance between a point (6, 9) and a horizontal line at y = 5 is 4
