Point XXX is located at (3, 2)(3,2)left parenthesis, 3, comma, 2, right parenthesis. Point YYY is located at (3, -8)(3,−8)left parenthesis, 3, comma, minus, 8, right parenthesis. What is the distance from point XXX to point YYY?

anivearb0109:

Its for math it wouldn't let me put it in math sorry

minustempo:

do you just mean point x and point y and a point is only (x,y) not (a,b)(c,d)

anivearb0109:

Im trying to find out how many units

minustempo:

assuming point X is (3,2) and point Y is (3,-8), the distance between them, because they have hthe same x-value, is just 2-(-8) which is 10 Or you could do pythag theorem: sqrt((2-(-8)) + (3-3)^2) which is just sqrt(10^2)) = 10

Tranquility:

it's a formatting issue when she copy pasted the question Point X is located at (3, 2). Point Y is located at (3, -8) What is the distance from point X to point Y?

anivearb0109:

minustempo:

okay I assumed right then

minustempo:

10 units apart

anivearb0109:

thank you

anivearb0109:

its not 10 united I tried it didn't work

Plot the points (-3,-4)(−3,−4)left parenthesis, minus, 3, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis and (6,-4)(6,−4)left parenthesis, 6, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis on the coordinate plane below. What is the distance between these two points? What is the Unit

Tranquility:

Since it's in the same line, it's just as simple as counting how many units apart they are

well only if they're on the same horizontal or vertical line but yeah

Tranquility:

valid distinction, all you need is two points to make a line haha

anivearb0109:

Sooo it is 10 units casue I tried and the answer was wrong I still get more trys but I need help with it trying to find the UNIT

lol yeah it's always going to be a line

you didn't give any units so it's just 10 units

anivearb0109:

No its not it was 9 units

anivearb0109:

Thanks for trying to help me

minustempo:

well maybe the machine is not having a good day because it's wrong

anivearb0109:

Well maybe
