Question

find the distance between the points (-4.7, 9.4) and (-4.7, -5). units submit

Explanation:

Step1: Use the distance formula for points with same x - coordinate

For two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\), when \(x_1 = x_2\), the distance \(d=\vert y_1 - y_2\vert\). Here \(x_1=-4.7,x_2 = - 4.7,y_1 = 9.4,y_2=-5\).

Step2: Calculate the absolute difference of y - coordinates

\(d=\vert9.4-(-5)\vert=\vert9.4 + 5\vert\).
\(d=\vert14.4\vert\).

Answer:

\(14.4\)
