Question

What is the distance between the points (7 , -2) and (7 , 8) in the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points on a plane;

(7 , -2) and (7 , 8)

We are supposed to determine the distance between the two points;

• To get the distance between two points on a plane, we should use modulus formula;

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

Therefore, in this case;

Distance = $\sqrt{(8--2)^2+(7-7)^2}$

               $=\sqrt{100+0}$

                $=\sqrt{100} \\=10$

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 10 units.
