Step 01:
Data
point 1 (-8 , 4) x1 = -8 y1 = 4
point 2 (-8 , -2) x2 = -8 y2 = -2
distance = ?
Step 02:
[tex]d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(}-8-(-8))^{2}+(-2-4)^{2} \\ d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(-8+8)^{2}+(-6)^{2}} \\ d=\text{ }\sqrt[]{0+36}\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is:
The distance is 6 units.
