The coordinates of the point B are (−5,7) and the coordinates of point C are (−5,3). What is the distance, in units, between the point B and point C ?Answer: □ units
Q. The coordinates of the point B are (−5,7) and the coordinates of point C are (−5,3). What is the distance, in units, between the point B and point C ?Answer: □ units
Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of points B and C. Point B has coordinates (−5,7), and point C has coordinates (−5,3).
Calculate Distance: Since both points B and C have the same x-coordinate, they lie on a vertical line, and the distance between them is the absolute difference of their y-coordinates.Calculate the distance using the y-coordinates of B and C.Distance = ∣yB−yC∣=∣7−3∣=∣4∣=4 units
