Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. (-5, -3) and (-5, -6)

Answer 1

Answer:

• Formular for length:

$length = \sqrt{ {(x _{1} - x _{2}) }^{2} + {(y_{1} - y_{2})}^{2} }$

• from points given, x1 is -5, x2 is -5, y1 is -3 and y2 is -6:

• substitute:

$length = \sqrt{ { \{ - 5 - ( - 5) \}}^{2} + { \{ - 3 - ( - 6) \}}^{2} } \\ \\ length = \sqrt{ {0}^{2} + {3}^{2} } \\ \\ length = \sqrt{ {3}^{2} } \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \: \: length = 3 \: units \: \: }}}$
