Question

find the distance between the point (6,3) and(6,-7)

Answer 1

the answer would be -10 down

Answer 2

10 units

Since the x- coordinates of the 2 points are equal, that is 3 then the distance between the 2 points is the difference in the y- coordinates.

distance = 3 - (- 7) = 3 + 7 = 10
