What is the distance between points (-3,-7) and (-9,-7)
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the points are:
Point 1: (-3, -7)
Point 2: (-9, -7)
Using the formula:
Distance = √((-9 - (-3))^2 + (-7 - (-7))^2)
Distance = √((-9 + 3)^2 + (0)^2)
Distance = √((-6)^2 + 0)
Distance = √(36)
Distance = 6
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, -7) and (-9, -7) is 6 units.
