Question

how far away is {-4,-6} away from {5,-6} on a coordinate grid

Answer 1

Answer:

(-4, -6) and (5, -6) are 9 units away from each other on a coordinate grid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

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

We are given the points (-4, -6) and (5, -6). Substitute these points into the formula:

• $d = \sqrt{(5-(-4))^2+(-6-(-6))^2}$
• $d=\sqrt{(5+4)^2+(-6+6)^2}$
• $d=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0)^2}$
• $d=\sqrt{9^2}$
• $d=9$

The distance between (-4, -6) and (5, -6) on a coordinate plane is 9 units.
