Question

Point X has coordinates (-4, -5) and point y has coordinates (--1, --5 ) which expression models the distance between points X and Y ?

Answer 1

Answer:  The last expression shows the result of 3  so it models the distance between x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will have to  find the distance between the two points by square the x coordinates and squaring the y coordinates to find their sum .  

-4 - (-1) = -3

-5 - ( -5) = 0

-3^2 + 0^2 = d^2   where d  is the distance

9  = d^2

d= 3  

The distance is 3 units  

Now evaluate which expression have a solution as 3.

The last expression is the answer

the absolute value for -4 is 4   , and the absolute value for -1 is 1  and 4 minus 1 is 3.
