Question

Find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (3,-2).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must know the distance formula.

$d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

Now, we add in our coordinate points, solve, and simplify.

$d=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-2-(-5))^2}\\ d=\sqrt{(0)^2+(3)^2}\\ d=\sqrt{0+9}\\ d=\sqrt{9}\\ d=3$

So, the distance between the two points is 3 units.
