Question

Which of the coordinate pairs below are separated by a vertical distance of less than 6 units? Select all that apply. A) (-5, 1.4) and (-5, -5) B) (6, 0.2) and (6, -1.6) C) (2.2, -3) and (2.2, 2.5) D) (-3.6, 7) and (-3.6, -1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Options B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select the set of points in which the difference between their vertical distance is less than 6 units

Let us consider the options one after the other;

A. 1-4-(-5) = 6.4

B. 0.2-(-1.6) = 0.2 + 1.6 = 1.8

C. 2.5-(-3) = 5.5

D. 7-(-1) = 7 + 1 = 8

So we can see that the options B and C are separated by vertical distance less than 6
