What is the distance between points (9, 4) and (–3, 4) on a coordinate plane? Please help need answers right away

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do you know the Pythagorean theorem or the distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No It just says that question. there's no info

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Distance, d, between points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2) \). \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \)

thank you! that should help :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Subtract the x-coordinates of the two points and square the difference. Subtract the y-coordinates of the two points and square the difference. Add the squares of the differences. That the square root of the sum. That will give you the distance.
