Question

What’s the distance between points n(-1,-11) and p(-1,-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

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

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-11)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-1,-3)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(-11-(-3)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(-11+3)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(0)^2+(-8)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{0+64}$

$D =\sqrt{64}$

$D= 8$

Hence the Distance is 8 units
