Question

Find the distance between the points in a coordinate plane. Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

The distance between the two points is 11.3 units.

Given:

$(-4,7.8) \\(-4,-3.5)$

Apply the distance formula given as:

$d = \sqrt{(y_2 - y_1)^2 + (x_2 - x_1)^2 }$

Let,

$(-4,7.8) = (x_1, y_1)\\(-4,-3.5) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$d = \sqrt{(-3.5 -7.8)^2 + (-4 -(-4))^2 }$

$d = \sqrt{(-11.3)^2 + (0)^2 }\\d = \sqrt{127.69} \\d = 11.3$

Therefore, the distance between the two points in a coordinate plane is 11.3 units.
