What is the distance between the point (−10, −2) and the point (−4, −2) ?



−14 units



−6 units



6 units



14 units



I'm pretty sure the number is 6 but is it positive or negative?

Verified Answer :

distance = root (x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)² = root (-10--4)²+(-2--2)² = 6
the answer is 6 units   (The answer is 6 units)

Answer:

\(d=6\ units\)

The distance is a positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

\(d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}\)

\(A(-10,-2)\\B(-4,-2)\)  

substitute the values

\(d=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(-4+10)^{2}}\)

\(d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}}\)

\(d=6\ units\)
