Answer 2

hmmm shold be -6
thus \(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad
% (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ 8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -6}})
\end{array}\qquad
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)

Answer 3

easier way is to make a graph, 9 units
