Question

What is the distance between (−10, −2) and (−4, −2) ? −14 units −6 units 6 units 14 units

Answer 1

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d between the points use the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁)²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 10, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 2)

d = $\sqrt{(-4+10)^2+(-2+2)^2}$ = $\sqrt{6^2+0^2}$ = $\sqrt{36}$ = 6
