Question

On a coordinate grid, point T is at (2, −4) and point S is at (2, 6). The distance (in units) between points T and S is ______. (Input only whole numbers, such as 2.)

Answer 1

The answer is 10
This is because both points have the same x value, which is 2, which means the distance between them is a straight line. That means that we can simply find the distance between the y values, and -4 to 0 is 4 units, and 0 to 6 is 6 units, so 4 + 6 = 10.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

ST = √(2-2)² + (6-(-4))² = √0 + 10² = √10² = 10

The answer is 10.

Hope it helps!
