Question

What is the distance apart (-6, -4.7) and (-6, 4.1)

Answer 1

Answer:

8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, to find the distance between two points, you would use the distance formula, but these two points have the same x-coordinate, meaning they will form a vertical line when connected. To find the length of a vertical line you find the distance between the y-coordinates, in this case -4.7 and 4.1. Finding the distance is the same as finding the absolute value of the difference:

|4.1 -(-4.7)|

|4.1 + 4.7|

|8.8|

8.8
