Question

7. What is the distance between the following ordered pairs: (5, 6) and (5,8) ?

Answer 1

Given:

$\text{Given points are (5,6) and (5,8)}$$\text{Distance between the points=}\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$$\begin{gathered} \text{Distance}=\sqrt[]{(5-5)^2+(8-6)^2} \\ \text{Distance}=\sqrt[]{0+2^2} \\ \text{Distance}=2\text{ units} \end{gathered}$
