Question

find the distance between the points (-13, 16) and (-13, -10.3). units submit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for distance between two points with same x - coordinate

When two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) have \(x_1 = x_2\), the distance \(d=\vert y_1 - y_2\vert\). Here \(x_1=-13,x_2 = - 13,y_1 = 16,y_2=-10.3\).

Step2: Calculate the distance

Substitute the values into the formula: \(d=\vert16-(-10.3)\vert=\vert16 + 10.3\vert\).
Since \(16+10.3=26.3\), and \(\vert26.3\vert=26.3\).

Answer:

\(26.3\)
