Question

find the distance between A(-6,12) and B(-6,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

distance is 13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

using distance formula,

s (distance) = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

s = √(-6 - -6)² + (-1 -12)²

s = √(-6 + 6)² + (-13)²

s = √0 + 169

s = √169

s = ±13

∵distance cannot be negative

∴ s = 13 units
