Question

Whats the distance between (−8, 4) and (−8, −2)?

Answer 1

The distance between the two is 6.

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

We want to use the distance formula for this problem

`\sqrt{(x_(2) -x_(1) )^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1)) ^(2) }`

`\sqrt{(-8+8)^(2) +(-2-4)^(2) }`

`√(0+36)`

The distance between these two points is 6
