Question

What is the distance between the points (5, –6) and (5, 2)?

A.
1

B.
3

C.
4

D.
8

Answer 1

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

distance formula

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+ (y2-y1)^{2}}\]
this is the distance formula now just put these values in it and get the answer
(x1,y1)=(5,-6)
(x2,y2)=(5,2)

Answer 3

its 8 option d
