Question

Point Q is located at(−4,6)left parenthesis, minus, 4, comma, 6, right parenthesis. Point RRR is located at (8, 6)(8,6)left parenthesis, 8, comma, 6, right parenthesis.

What is the distance from point QQQ to point RRR?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

Answer 2

|QR|=12

Explanation:

The point Q is located at (-4,6) and the point R is located at (8,6).

We want to find the distance from point Q to point R.

Since the y-coordinates of the two points are the same, we can use the absolute value method.

According to this method; the distance from point Q to point R is just the absolute value of the difference in the x-values.

|QR|=|8--4|=12
