Question

plot the points (-7, 5) and (-7, -9). click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it. find the vertical distance between the two points. answer attempt 2 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the y - coordinates

The two points are (-7, 5) and (-7, - 9). The y - coordinates are $y_1 = 5$ and $y_2=-9$.

Step2: Calculate the vertical distance

The vertical distance $d$ between two points with the same x - coordinate is given by $d=\vert y_1 - y_2\vert$. Substitute $y_1 = 5$ and $y_2=-9$ into the formula: $d=\vert5-(-9)\vert=\vert5 + 9\vert=\vert14\vert = 14$.

Answer:

14
