Answer:
The distance between the two points is 15 units
Step-by-step explanation:
the distance between (12, –7) and (–3, –7)
To find distance we use distance formula
[tex]Distance =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
(12, –7) is (x1,y1) and (–3, –7) is (x2,y2)
Now plug in the values in the formula
[tex]Distance =\sqrt{(-3-12)^2+(-7+7)^2}[/tex]
[tex]Distance =\sqrt{(-15)^2+(0)^2}[/tex]
[tex]Distance =15[/tex]
The distance between the two points is 15 units
