Answer 3

Count the amount of "spaces" between the two on a grid if you draw it on a paper.

Answer 4

Could you do that? Like draw a graph and the two points and calculate the amount of coordinates.

Answer 5

For two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) the distance between them is \[\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2+(y2 - y1)^2}\]
So for your problem, A(9, -7) and B(9, 4), the distance between them would be 11.

Answer 6

Cogs explained it better than I could! Good job!

Answer 7

i wouldn't be able to tell i can't write well, my hand writing is messy really messy

Answer 8

Thats ok. Just use the formula cogs gave to determine distance.

Answer 9

thx guys!

Answer 10

You should go to your graphing calculator

Answer 11

my what?!

Answer 12

i have no clue what the heck that is
