What is the distance between (6, 2) and (6, -5)? A. -7 units B.3 units C.7 units D.11 units

Answer 1

The distance between any two points x₁,y₁ and x₂,y₂ is D=((x₁-x₂)²+(y₁-y₂)²)^.5

Where x₁,y₁ =(6,2) and x₂,y₂ =(6,-5) notice that the x coordinates are the same 6 so they do not add to the distance. D=((2-(-5))²)^.5= 7 units.
