Although the distance formula could be used this is on a straight line and not an angle so we can determine the length by determining the difference between both the x values in each point. And yes your answer of C. is correct

thanx can u help with anoter

4. sweetburger

sure

5. jojo12g

What is the distance between the points (5, –6) and (5, 2)? A. 1 B. 3 C. 4 D. 8

6. jojo12g

i think c

7. sweetburger

well it is deceivingly 4. When you look at it like this it will make more sense |dw:1433282915575:dw| as you can see from teh drawing there is a difference of 8

8. jojo12g

10. jojo12g

k thanks

11. sweetburger

np

12. jojo12g

can u help with more

13. jojo12g

What is the distance between the points (–8, –2) and (–7, –2)? A. 1 B. 6 C. 10 D. 15

14. jojo12g

maybe d

15. jojo12g

d or c

16. sweetburger

ok so this question regards the distance problem $distance = \sqrt{(X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2}$

distance formula*

19. jojo12g

i think c
