Question

Find the distance between the points.

(-4,2), (-4,-5)

The distance is _
.

Answer 1

distance = 7 units

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 5 )

d =
`√((-4-(-4))^2+(-5-2)^2)`

=
`√((-4+4)^2+(-7)^2)`

=
`√(0^2+49)`

=
`√(49)`

= 7

Answer 2

The distance is (-4,3)

Explanation:

count between the numbers :)
