The distance between A (-4, 2) and B(4, 2) is.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Did you try graphing the points?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There is a distance formula to find the distance between any two points on the coordinate plane, but if the points are on a horizontal line or on a vertical line, you don't need to use the formula, and you can still find the distance easily.

yeah i tried it and i got 64 then i tried breaking it down and i dont know how to get the answer. i get to choose from 4, 6 , and 8

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Just graph it as I suggested above.

\[\huge~\rm~\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\] did you use this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

even if i graph it i dont know what im doing

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

See? The points are on a horizontal line, so the distance is simply the distance along the horizontal line the points lie in.

list your: x1=? x2=? y1=? y2=?
