Question

find the distance between the points (-3, -7) and (-3, 4). distance:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the distance formula for points with same x - coordinate

For two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ with $x_1 = x_2$, the distance $d=\vert y_2 - y_1\vert$. Here $x_1=-3,y_1 = - 7,x_2=-3,y_2 = 4$.

Step2: Calculate the distance

$d=\vert4-(-7)\vert=\vert4 + 7\vert$.
$d=\vert11\vert = 11$.

Answer:

11
