Question

find the distance between the two points. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

1. a(3, 14), b(3, 2) 19. a(-4, 1), b(4, 1)

m(1\frac{3}{4}, 2\frac{1}{8}) m(6, 1) m(0, 2.5) m(1.1, -0.1) m(3, 1) m(2.5, 10)
m(5, -6) b(3, 8) b(-3, 2) b(7, 14) b(6, 0) 4 5 5.3 5.7 6.7
7.2 7.6 8 8.5 9.2 11.7 12 14 26.9

Explanation:

Step1: Apply vertical distance formula

For points $A(3,14)$ and $B(3,2)$, since $x$-coordinates are equal, distance = $|y_1 - y_2|$
$|14 - 2| = 12$

Step2: Apply horizontal distance formula

For points $A(-4,1)$ and $B(4,1)$, since $y$-coordinates are equal, distance = $|x_1 - x_2|$
$|-4 - 4| = |-8| = 8$

Answer:

1. 12
2. 8
