Question

which distance measures 5 units?
the distance between points w and x
the distance between points x and y
the distance between points x and z
the distance between points y and z

Explanation:

Identify coordinates of the points

$$ W = -8,\quad X = -3,\quad Y = 1,\quad Z = 5 $$

Calculate distances for each option

Match the target distance

$$ d(W, X) = 5 $$

Answer:

• the distance between points W and X (Correct answer)
• the distance between points X and Y
• the distance between points X and Z
• the distance between points Y and Z
