Question

!100 POINTS PLEASE ANSWER QUICK NO LINKS!

Answer 1

Answer:

• 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:

• (−2, −4) and (−2, −8)

Since the x-coordinates are same, the distance between them is the absolute value of the difference in y- coordinates:

• d = |-8 - (-4)| = | - 4| = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 8 )

d = $\sqrt{(-2-(-2))^2+(-8-(-4))^2}$

  = $\sqrt{(-2+2)^2+(-8+4)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{0^2+(-4)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{0+16}$

  = $\sqrt{16}$

  = 4
