Answer 1

ANSWER

9

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).

The given points have the same y-coordinates .

This means it is a horizontal line.

We use the absolute value method to find the distance between the two points.

We find the absolute value of the distance between the x-values.

The distance between the two points is

|3--6|=|3+6|=|9|=9
