Question

On a coordinate plane what is the distance between the point at (4,7) and the point (-4,7)

Answer 1

Answer: 8 units

Explanation:

We will use the distance formula.

`\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2 +(y_(2)-y_(1))^2}`

`\displaystyle d=√((-4-4)^2 +(7-7)^2)`

`\displaystyle d=√((-8)^2 +(0)^2)`

`\displaystyle d=\sqrt{64`

d = 8
