Question

Find the distance between each pair of points
6,8 -1,8

Answer 1

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system,

we can use the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

In your case, the points are (6, 8) and (-1, 8):

x1 = 6

y1 = 8

x2 = -1

y2 = 8

Now, plug these values into the distance formula:

Distance = √((-1 - 6)^2 + (8 - 8)^2)

Distance = √((-7)^2 + 0^2)

Distance = √(49 + 0)

Distance = √49

Distance = 7

So, the distance between the points (6, 8) and (-1, 8) is 7 units.
