Question

What is the distance between (–5, –2) and (–5, –8)? On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 5, negative 2) and (negative 5, negative 8). –10 units –6 units 6 units 10 units

Answer 1

Answer: 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

You can apply distance formula here.

Distance between the points = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

here, x1 = -5 ; y1= -2 ; x2=-5 ; y2= -8

=> √ (-5-(-5))²+(-8-(-2))²

= √ (-5+5)²+(-8+2)²

= √ 0² + (-6)²

= √ 36

= 6 units.
