If point a is located at (-9, 2) on a coordinate plane, and point b is located at (-9, 10), what is the distance between the two points?

ANSWER

8 units.

EXPLANATION

The first point, A is located at (-9,2) on the coordinate plane.

The second point, B is also located at (-9,10) on the coordinate plane.

You should be smart and observe that the x-coordinates of both points are the same. This means that, the two points lies on a vertical line.

Hence it will be faster to use the absolute value method rather than the distance formula.

According to this method, you only have to find the absolute value of the difference in the y-values.

5\16 x 2\5 = 10/80simplify to 1/80

Hello!

the answer is:

the answer is:

why?

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
