Question

In the graph above what’s the distance between (5,3) and (5,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 5 because when you count out the units on the graph, it is 5 apart.

To double check, you could also use distance formula, which would give you √25, which is also 5

Answer 2

Answer:

5 units

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(5,3)----->(X1,y1)

B(5,-2)------>(x2,y2)

Now,

$ab = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(5 - 5)}^{2} + {( - 2 - 3)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(0)}^{2} + {( - 5)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{0 + 25} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{25} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(5)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = 5 \: units$

hope this helps .....

Good luck on your assignment...
