Q. The coordinates of the point G are (−6,−7) and the coordinates of point H are (−6,10). What is the distance, in units, between the point G and point H?Answer: □ units
Identify Points G and H: Identify the coordinates of points G and H.Point G has coordinates (−6,−7) and point H has coordinates (−6,10). We notice that the x-coordinates are the same, which means that G and H lie on a vertical line.
Calculate Distance: Calculate the distance between the two points.Since points G and H are on the same vertical line, the distance between them is the absolute difference of their y-coordinates.Distance = ∣y2−y1∣=∣10−(−7)∣=∣10+7∣=∣17∣=17 units
