Answer:
Both are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the point (4,-2) and (4,-7), the x-coordinates are same. So, the distance between these points is the absolute difference between the y-coordinates of these points.

So, Laura is correct.
In the point (2,3) and (-9,3), the y-coordinates are same. So, the distance between these points is the absolute difference between the x-coordinates of these points.

So, Ryan is correct.
Hence, both are correct.

Answer:
Well the absolute vaule will allways be postive. Therefore the answer being 2. I Think.
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.
Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n
so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction
The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends)
for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277...
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.
