Question

Part 1: Laura says that the distance between (4, -2) and (4, -7) in the coordinate plane is equal to |-2-(-7)| units.

Part 2: Ryan says that the distance between the points (2,3) and (-9,3) in the coordinate plane is equal to |2 + 9| units.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1 :The distance between (4, -2) and (4, -7) in the coordinate plane is equal to 5 units.

Part 2 : The distance between the points (2,3) and (-9,3) in the coordinate plane is equal to 11 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1 : |-2-(-7)| = |-2+7| = |5| = 5

Part 2 : |2 + 9| = |11| = 11
