Question

Find the distance between the two points (-4,8) and (7,8)

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

d = 11 units.

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)`

Plug in the coordinates:

`d = √((7 - (-4))^2 + (8-8)^2)`

`d = √((11)^2 + (0)^2)`

Simplify:

`d = \sqrt{11^(2) }`

d = 11 units.
