Question

Find the distance between (-4,-8) and (-4,0).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf |AB| = 8\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two co-ordinates:

A(x1,y1) = (-4,-8)

B(x2,y2) = (-4,0)

Putting them in the distance formula:

$|AB| = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\|AB| = \sqrt{(-4-(-4))^2+(0-(-8))^2} \\\\|AB| = \sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(0+8)^2} \\\\|AB| = \sqrt{8^2} \\\\|AB| = 8\ units\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
