Question

Find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (3,-2).

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we must know the distance formula.

`d=√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

Now, we add in our coordinate points, solve, and simplify.

`d=√((3-3)^2+(-2-(-5))^2)\\ d=√((0)^2+(3)^2)\\ d=√(0+9)\\ d=√(9)\\ d=3`

So, the distance between the two points is 3 units.
