Question

What is the distance between (-5, 6) and (-5, -8)?

Answer 1

I think you should do it by yourself so i will give you an example then do the same thing with the same problem you have

Finding distance between AD

A(-2,4) and D(1,4) AD= (-2 + 1 =3 units)

Explanation:

When there are two points in the SAME quadrant, we SUBTRACT the absolute values of coordinate that are different

If they are in the different quadrants we add!
