Question

What is the distance between the points (-3, 4) and (5,4)?

Answer 1

8 units :):):):):):););)):

Answer 2

Answer:

8 units

solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(-3,4)---->(X1,y1)

B(5,4)----->(x2,y2)

now,

Distance:

$\sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(5 - ( - 3))}^{2} + (4 - 4) ^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(5 + 3)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(8)}^{2} + 0} \\ = \sqrt{64} \\ = \sqrt{ {(8)}^{2} } \\ = 8 \: units$

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
