Question

What is the distance between points (9, 4) and (–3, 4) on a coordinate plane?

units

Answer 1

help me please

Answer 2

@iambatman

Answer 3

ok for the x it would be 9-(-3)
for y, it would be 4+4

Answer 4

do you have any options?

Answer 5

Distance Formula :3

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

\[D = \sqrt{(9-(-3)^2 + 4-4^2}\]

Answer 8

no i have no options

Answer 9

so you basiclly use the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 10

ok wait

Answer 11

\[\sqrt{144}\]

Answer 12

or 12 is the ans

Answer 13

k

Answer 14

so 9-(-3) ^2 woud be 6^2 or 12

Answer 15

You use Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles... not distance with 2 points lol

Answer 16

no if the two points form a right triangle

Answer 17

wait i dont understand

Answer 18

You need 3 points to even form a triangle...

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

tfire, you would plug the two coordinates into the Distance Formula posted above.

Answer 21

@Schen421 if you want to find the distance for these, you do use the Pythagorean Theorm
