Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would add -4 + 3 to get the distance.
Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would add -4 + 3 to get the distance.
Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract -4 - 3 to get the distance and then take the absolute value since distance is positive.

To find the distance between two points with the same y-coordinates, you only need to consider the difference in their x-coordinates.
If the two points are represented as (x₁, y) and (x₂, y), the distance \(d\) between them can be calculated simply as:
\[
d = |x₂ - x₁|
\]
If you have specific y-coordinates (like -4 and 3) mentioned in your responses, it's important to check if those y-coordinates apply to two different points or if they're intended to be used in the calculation of distance between x-values.
However, since you mentioned the y-coordinates are the same, the proper approach is to calculate the difference in x-values:
- To clarify: if the y-coordinates were, say, -4 and -4, and you had x-coordinates of a and b, you would calculate the distance as \( |b - a| \).
It seems like you provided various options, but they are a bit mixed up. Given your inputs, the most relevant, correct response consistent with how distance is calculated between points with equal y-coordinates seems to be:
"Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract the x-coordinates to get the distance and then take the absolute value since distance is positive."
If the points were (x₁, -4) and (x₂, -4), you would do:
\[ |x₂ - x₁| \]
Please let me know if you have specific points you'd like to calculate the distance between!
