Question

find the distance between point a and point b.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine coordinates

Assume \( A(6,-4) \), \( B(1,-4) \).

Step2: Use distance formula for same - y - coordinate

Since \( y_A=y_B = - 4 \), distance \( d=\vert x_A - x_B\vert\).
\(d=\vert6 - 1\vert\)
\(d = 5\)

Answer:

\(5\)
