Question

) What is the distance between this pair of points? (-5, 2) and (-5, 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(-5-(-5))^2+(6-2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5+5)^2+(4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^2+16}$

$d=\sqrt{0+16}$

$d=\sqrt{16}$

$d=4$
