It is a series connection. Your house wiring is parallel. If one light bulb goes out in your house, the others remain on. In a series connection, if one goes, they all do. There is no such thing as a broken connection. Some series circuits are built so that when one light goes out, its base shorts, but that is not the expected answer.
You can use the distance formula: d=sqroot(x2-x1)squared + (y2-y1)squared. Plug in values: d=sqroot(8-(-6))squared + (2-2)squared Simplify: d=sqroot(196)+0 Simplify:d=sqroot(196 Square Root: d=14 units
