Question

Points F and G are located at (3,-12) and (3,-8) on a coordinate plane.

What is the distance between the two points?

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: 8-12=4

Answer 2

The answer is

4 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

`d = \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) } \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(3,-12) and (3,-8)

The distance between them is

`|EF| = \sqrt{( {3 - 3})^(2) + ({ - 12 + 8})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {0}^(2) + ({ - 4})^(2) } \\ = √(16) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

We have the final answer as

4 units
