Question

what is the distance between point j and point k? units j (-2, -3) k (1, -3)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of J and K

Point \( J(-2, -3) \), Point \( K(1, -3) \)

Step2: Check y - coordinates

Both have \( y = -3 \), so horizontal distance.

Step3: Calculate horizontal distance

Distance \( = |x_K - x_J| = |1 - (-2)| = |3| = 3 \)

Answer:
