Question

What is the distance between ( -3, -4) and ( 6, -4) on the coordinate plane

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between (-3, -4) and (6, -4) is 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must know the distance formula between two points.

$Distance(d)=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We will use (-3, -4) for (x₁, y₁) and we will use (6, -4) for (x₂, y₂).

$Distance=\sqrt{(6-(-3)^2+(-4-(-4))^2)}$

$Distance=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{81+0}$

$Distance=9$

So, the distance between the two points is 9 units.
