Question

1. what is the distance between the following 2 coordinates? (4, -5) and (4, 10) they are ______ units apart. (units 2 & 3)5

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 $x_1=x_2 = 4$, $y_1=-5$ and $y_2 = 10$.

Step2: Calculate the distance

$d=\vert10-(-5)\vert=\vert10 + 5\vert$.
$d=\vert15\vert=15$.

Answer:

15
