Question

1) Find the distance between the points (−3, 9) and (−3, −5). A) 4 B) 6 C) 12 D) 14

Answer 1

14 units

Explanation:

Notice that the x-coordinates of the two given points are the same: -3. Thus, the distance from one of these points to the other is a vertical one only, as x does not change.

The vertical distance is 9 - (-5), or 14 units.
