Question

What is the distance between the points (–5, –9) and (–5, 13)?

A.
4 units

B.
11 units

C.
16 units

D.
22 units

Answer 1

Is this a trick question? Well since the x value is the same in both points, there's no horizontal shifts. So the distance traveled is along the vertical y axis. You can just used the difference between two points
(x1-x0, y1-y0)
(0, 13-(-9))
(0,22)

D, 22 Units
