What is the distance between (−58, 13) and (−58, −2)
The distance between two points on a coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula:
Distance = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
Plugging in the coordinates:
x1 = -58
y1 = 13
x2 = -58
y2 = -2
Distance = √((-58 + 58)^2 + (-2 - 13)^2)
Distance = √(0^2 + (-15)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 225)
Distance = √225
Distance = 15
Therefore, the distance between (-58, 13) and (-58, -2) is 15 units.
