Question

What is the length of the segment connecting the points (−9, 3) and (−9, −2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

            Distance= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The length can be find if two coordinates are given by using distance formula

i.e For two given points:  $(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)$

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

The given coordinates are :$(-9, 3) and (-9, -2)$

Implementing the given points in the formula;

         Distance=  $\sqrt{(-9-(-9))^2+(-2-3)^2}$

                          $\sqrt{(-9+9)^2+(-5)^2}\\ \\\sqrt{0+25} \\\\\sqrt{25}$

            Distance= 5

The distance of points $(-9, 3) and (-9, -2)$ is '5'.
