Question

What is the distance between (12, –7) and (–3, –7)?

Answer 1

15.9687194227 units between the 2 points

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the two points is 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance between (12, –7) and (–3, –7)

To find distance we use distance formula

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

(12, –7) is (x1,y1) and (–3, –7) is (x2,y2)

Now plug in the values in the formula

$Distance =\sqrt{(-3-12)^2+(-7+7)^2}$

$Distance =\sqrt{(-15)^2+(0)^2}$

$Distance =15$

The distance between the two points is 15 units
