Question

What is the distance between the points (10, –7) and (10, 9) on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

Count down 9 or up from -7 and you got your answer

Answer 2

Use the distance formula

Answer 3

Do you know what the distance formula is like?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Good. Have you worked with it before?

Answer 6

yeah

Answer 7

\(Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)

Answer 8

Then you can easily get the answer of this question :D

Answer 9

\((x_1,y_1\)) =(10,-7)
and
\((x_2,y_2)\)= (10, 9)
Plug and chug!

Answer 10

I got 16
