Question

to find the distance between (17,3) and (17,-5), marcia used the following equation. is marcia correct

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = 8

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

Step-by-step explanation:

$(17,3)=(x_1 , y_1 )\\ (17,-5)=(x_2,y_2)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(17-17)^2+(-5-3)^2}\\\\ d = \sqrt{(0 )^2+(-8)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{0 +64}\\\\ d = \sqrt{64} \\\\d = 8$
