Question

What is the Distance between (-4, -8) and (10, -8)??

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

Use the distance equation:

d² = (x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²

d² = (10 − -4)² + (-8 − -8)²

d² = 14² + 0²

d = 14

Answer 2

The distance between both points would be 14.

Explanation:

The y coordinate or -8 stays the same for both points on a coordinate grid. However the x coordinate changes from -4 to 10, which is 14 places away on a coordinate grid. Therefore the distance between these two points is 14.
