Given the two coordinates (−6, 5) , and (−6, 10) , what is the distance between them on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

The distance between two points on a coordinate plane can be found by using the formula:

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Plugging in the coordinates (-6, 5) for (x1, y1) and (-6, 10) for (x2, y2), we get:

Distance = √[(-6 - (-6))^2 + (10 - 5)^2]
Distance = √[0^2 + 5^2]
Distance = √[0 + 25]
Distance = √25
Distance = 5

Therefore, the distance between the two points (-6, 5) and (-6, 10) on a coordinate plane is 5 units.
