@terenzreignz can you help me

Answer 3

We have a distance formula...

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

The distance between two points \((\color{red}a,\color{green}b)\) and \((\color{blue}m,\color{orange}n)\) is given by
\[\Large \sqrt{(\color{blue}m-\color{red}a)^2 + (\color{orange}n-\color{green}b^2)}\]
Just plug in the values ^^

Answer 6

Actually, yonce4, "How many units apart are the points (4, -3) and (-4, 3)?" is equivalent to asking, "What is the distance between the points (4,-3) and (-4,3)?" Thus, terenz is on the right course in suggesting that you use that distance formula.
