Although the distance formula could be used this is on a straight line and not an angle so we can determine the length by determining the difference between both the x values in each point. And yes your answer of C. is correct

ok so this question regards the distance problem \[distance = \sqrt{(X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2}\]
