Question

What is the distance in units from (2, - 12) to (-11, - 12) on the coordinate place?

A: 9

B: 13

C: 14

D: 23

Answer 1

Answer:

B: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given two points as

(2, - 12) and  (-11, - 12)

so,

$x_1=2,y_1=-12$

$x_2=-11,y_2=-12$

now, we can use distance formula

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

now, we can plug values

$d=\sqrt{(-11-2)^2+(-12+12)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-11-2)^2+0}$

$d=13$

So,

The distance is 13
