Question

What is the distance in units between the points (4, -7) and (1, -7)?

Answer 1

I think it’s 3 I used a calculator online not sure if it’s right.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate such, the following formula is required:

Distance Formula: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)^2 + (y2 − y1)^2

Denote the following points as the following,

(4, -7). (1, -7)

X1 Y1. X2. Y2

D(P, Q) = √(1 - 4)^2 + (-7 + 7)^2. <== Since there is a double negative, such will be considered addition.

√(-3)^2 + (0)^2

√9 = 3

Thus, the agglomerate distance of such points on the Cartesian plane is disclosed as 3 units.
