Point 1 is (-4,4)
Point 2 is (3,4)
(1 point)
Responses

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.

Answer 1

To find the distance between the two points (-4, 4) and (3, 4), you can use the fact that the y-coordinates are the same. This means that the distance is simply the horizontal distance between the two x-coordinates.

Here's the step to find that distance:

1. Identify the x-coordinates: Point 1 has an x-coordinate of -4 and Point 2 has an x-coordinate of 3.
2. Subtract the x-coordinates: \(3 - (-4)\) which simplifies to \(3 + 4 = 7\).

Thus, the distance between Point 1 and Point 2 is 7.

Among the options provided, the correct reasoning aligns with:

"Since the y-coordinates are the same, you would subtract 4 - 4 to get the distance (although this is trivial since it results in 0), and focus on the horizontal distance."

However, it seems that the best-fit option among your responses is not explicitly listed. The correct computation shows the distance is indeed \(3 - (-4) = 7\).
