Question

What is the distance of this line?

Which is the right answer? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can use the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem

D =
`√((x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)`

the two points given are

(0, 3) and (-2, -3)

`(x_2-x_1) = (0-(-2)) = 2\\(y_2-y_1) = (3-(-3)) = 6\\D = √((2)^2 + (6)^2) \\D = √(4 + 36) \\D = √(40) = 6.324`
