Sorry, my computer crashed.

Answer 3

\[d=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}\]In terms of the variables in this equation, your coordinates would be\[(x_{1},y_{1})\text{ and }(x_{2},y_{2})\rightarrow(-1,-11)\text{ and }(-1,-3)\]Just replace each variable with its respective number.

Answer 4

oh okay, let me try solving it. thanks :)

Answer 5

No problem. Good luck ♣

Answer 6

hint: x-coordinate for both points, is the same, -1
