What is the distance between the points (−4, 5) and (3, 5)? a) 1 b) 2 c) 7 d) 9

Hi there! :)

The answer is C) 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both coordinates have the same "y", which is 5.

This means that you want to find the distance between both "x" values.

So, you want to know the distance between -4 and 3.

"-4" on the "x-axis" is on the left side of the graph and "3" on the "x-axis" is on the right side of the graph.

So in order for you to find the distance between -4 and 3, you'll need to count how much you need to add to "-4" in order for it to become "3":

-4 + ? = 3

Add 4 on each side of the equation → 3 + 4 = 7

? = 7 ⇒ Which is the distance between the two points.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
