Question

) What is the distance between this pair of points?
(-5, 2) and (-5, 6)

Answer 1

`d=4`

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

`d=√((-5-(-5))^2+(6-2)^2)`

`d=√((-5+5)^2+(4)^2)`

`d=√((0)^2+16)`

`d=√(0+16)`

`d=√(16)`

`d=4`
