Question

Point R is located at (-9,8) and point T is located at (-9,-7) on a coordinate plane.

Answer 1

Answer:

15 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying

/RT/ = √[(y₂-y₁)²+(x₂-x₁)²]............. Equation 1

Where /RT/ = distance between point R and Point T

From the question,

Given: y₁ = -9, x₁ = 8, y₂ = -9, x₂ = -7

Substitute these values into equation 1

/RT/ = √[(-9-(-9))²+(-7-8)²]

/RT/ = √[(0)²+(-15)²]

/RT/ = √225

/RT/ = 15 unit

Hence the distance between point R and point T is 15 unit
