How would you find the distance between (-4,4) and (3,4)
A. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would add -4 + 3 to get the distance.
B. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract 4 - 3 to get the distance.
C. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract -4 - 3 to get the distance and then take the absolute value since distance is positive.
D. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would do 3 - 4 to get the distance.
A. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would add -4 + 3 to get the distance.
Therefore, the distance between (-4,4) and (3,4) is 7 units.
are you sure
My apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct that.
Since the points are in a straight line horizontally, the distance between them would be the absolute difference of their x-coordinates.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract the x-coordinates 3 - (-4) to get the distance between the points.
Correct calculation:
3 - (-4) = 3 + 4 = 7
So, the distance between (-4,4) and (3,4) is 7 units. Thank you for pointing that out.
