Question

On a coordinate plane, what is the distance between (-7, 3) and (2,3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

Plug in the points:

$\sqrt{(2-(-7))^{2}+(3-3)^2 } = \sqrt{(9)^{2}+(0)^2 } = \sqrt{(9)^2} = 9$
