Question

Using the figure, determine the length, in units, of LM

Answer 1

Given the coordinates of L and M

To get the length between the two coordinates, we will follow the steps below

Step 1: List out the coordinates of L and M

$L(-4,-3)$

$M(-4,4)$

step 2: calculate the distance

Since they both have the same x coordinates, we can simply subtract the y-coordinate of L from M

$M-L=4-(-3)=4+3=7$

Therefore, the distance LM is 7 units
