Question

What is the distance between the points (−3, 5) and (−3, −9)? A) 4 B) 6 C) 11 D) 14

Answer 1

Distance formula is
D= square root of x2-x1 squared plus y2-y1 squared

for (-3,5) and (-3,-9) that would be

Square root of -3- - 3 squared plus -9-5 squared

This equals 14 which makes the answer D

Answer 2

Answer: D)14

Step-by-step explanation: The x-factors are both -3 but the y-factors are different so you count the distance between them
