What is the distance between the points (–3, 4) and (–7, 4)?

A.
0

B.
3

C.
4

D.
10

Answer 1

once again, count the steps

Answer 2

\[d = \sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]

Answer 3

This should help, the distance formula.

Answer 4

ooh no
just count them, no formula

Answer 5

Use the distance formula


\[\Large d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}\]


Or you can plot the two points, then construct a right triangle. The hypotenuse of that triangle is the distance you want.

Answer 6

they don't give the graph

Answer 7

loool

Answer 8

Oh in this case, the y coordinates are the same

so satellite73 has a good point

Answer 9

Yeah just do what sat said

Answer 10

no problem
count them anyway
how many steps from \(-7\) to \(-3\) ?

Answer 11

if it is not clear, fill in the numbers
or compute \(-3-(-7)\)

Answer 12

@satellite73 it is 4

Answer 13

yes it is

Answer 14

A.
(–1, 3)

B.
(–1, 6)

C.
