Answer:
AB = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-coordinate of point A and B is the same.
Therefore, both points lie on the same horizontal line (y = 2).
So determine the distance between them, subtract the x-coordinate of B from the x-coordinate of A:
AB = 4 - -3 = 4 + 3 = 7
However, to calculate the distance between 2 points, regardless if the points are on a horizontal (or vertical) line, you can always use the distance between 2 points formula that is derived from Pythagoras' Theorem, as follows:
let = point A (4, 2)
let = point B (-3, 2)
using the distance between two points equation:
