Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is given by

d = sqrt( (x2-x1) ^2 + ( y2-y1) ^2)

Since the x values are the same

d = sqrt(  ( y2-y1) ^2)

d = sqrt(  (( -6 - 10)^2))

d =  sqrt((-16) ^2)

d = 16

We can also just find the number of squares between the points since the x value is the same.

10 - -6

10+6

Which quadratic function shows a y-intercept of 4 and a maximum value of 5
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The 4th graph

Step-by-step explanation:

To have a maximum value, your parabola would have to open downwards. So the first 2 are wrong. Since your y-intercept is positive 4, your graph would have to touch the y axis at 4. The 3rd graph is wrong since it touches the y-axis at a negative point. The correct answer would be the 4th answer choice.
