Question

Trigonometry

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is d = 7 u

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

P₁ = (8, -6)

P₂ = (15, -6)

Formula

distance between two points = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2}+ (y2 - y1)^{2}}$

x₁ = 8          y₁ = -6

x₂ = 15        y₂ = -6

-Substitution

d = $\sqrt{(15 - 8)^{2} + (-6 + 6)^{2}}$

-Simplification

d = $\sqrt{7^{2} + 0^{2}}$

d = $\sqrt{49}$

-Result

d = 7 units

- Conclusion

The distance between these points is 7 units

Answer 2

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

These points lie on the same horizontal line.

No vertical distance

Only horizontal distance of:

15-8 = 7 units
