What is the distance between the two points? (-18, -6) & (-18,-1)
A. 4
B. 5
C.6
D. 7

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
D² = ( x2 - x1 )² + ( y2 - y1 )²
= [ (-18) - (-18) ]² + [ (-1) - (-6) ]²
= ( -1 + 6 )²
D² = ( 5 )²
hence, D = 5
Answer: B) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by finding the distance from one x coordinate to the other. Remember subtracting by a negative is the same as adding a positive
-18-(-18)
-18+18
0
There is no distance away from the x value so the distance we need to count is from the y value
-1-(-6)
-1+6
5
The distance between the two points is 5.
