Plot the points ( 2 , 4 ) (2,4)left parenthesis, 2, comma, 4, right parenthesis and ( 2 , − 8 ) (2,−8)left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 8, right parenthesis on the coordinate plane below. What is the distance between these two points?

Distance between the points is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the graph attached.

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as;

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Given the coordinates (2, 4) and (2, -8)

D = √(2-2)²+(-8-4)²

D = √(0)²+(-12)²

D = √0+144

D = √144

D = 12

Hence the distance between the two points is 12
