Question

What is distance between points (-4,0) and (6,0)

Answer 1

$Let \: A(-4,0) = (x_{1} , y_{1}) \:and$

$B( 6,0) = (x_{2} , y_{2})$

$Since, \:the \: y - coordinates \: are \:equal$

$to \: zero ,\:points \: lie \: on \: x - axis$

$\red{ Distance \: (AB) } = | x_{2} - x_{1} |$

$= | 6 - (-4) |$

$= | 6 + 4 |$

$= | 10 |$

$= 10 \: units$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Distance \: between \: given \: points}$

$\green { = 10 \: units}$
