Question

Find the distance between the points 4,7 and -5,7

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal line from 4 to -5.

Answer 2

Distance formula is: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

       $(x_{1},y_{1}) = (4,7)\\(x_{2},y_{2}) = (-5,7)$

Thus let us plug in all the know values and solve:

      $\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(7-7)^2} =\sqrt{(-9)^2} =\sqrt{81} = 9$

Thus the distance is 9
