Question

2

Plot the points (2, 4) and (2, -8) on the
coordinate plane below.
What is the distance between these two
points?
units

Answer 1

12 units

Explanation:

Applying the distance formula,
`\sqrt{(x_(2)- x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2)- y_(1))^(2) }`, you get
`\sqrt{(2-2)^(2) +(4+8)^(2)}` =
`12` units.
