Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
distance between points (x1,y1), (x2,y2) is
sqrt ( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 ).
In our case this becomes
sqrt ( (-12 - (-12))^2 + (-8 - (-2))^2 ) ) = => as -12 - (-12) = 0, -8 - (-2) = -6
sqrt ( 0^2 + (-6)^2 ) =
sqrt(36) = 6
The answer makes sense as the line given in the Question is a vertical line. In this case, length = abs(difference of y values) = abs( ( -8) -(-2) ) = 6
Thank you,
MrB
