Question
In the coordinate plane, what is the distance between ( - 13, 7) and (7, 7) ?
6 units
14 units
20 units
21 units
Hint:
Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. Absolute the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign. Also called modulus
The correct answer is: 20 units
Step 1: If the y - coordinates are the same, we use the x - coordinates to find the distance. Step 2: Add the absolute values of the coordinates to find the distance between the points since they lie in different quadrants. Step 3: ∣ - 13∣ + ∣7∣ = 13 + 7 = 20
