Q. The coordinates of the point T T are (5,8) (-5,-8) and the coordinates of point U U are (5,2) (-5,-2) . What is the distance, in units, between the point T T and point U? U ? \newlineAnswer: \square units
  1. Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of points TT and UU.\newlinePoint TT has coordinates (5,8)(-5, -8) and point UU has coordinates (5,2)(-5, -2). We need to find the distance between these two points.
  2. Calculate Vertical Distance: Since the xx-coordinates of both points are the same, the points lie on a vertical line, and the distance between them is the absolute difference of their yy-coordinates.\newlineCalculate the difference between the yy-coordinates of point TT and point UU.\newlineDifference = 8(2)=8+2=6=6|-8 - (-2)| = |-8 + 2| = |-6| = 6
  3. Calculate Distance: The distance between point TT and point UU is 66 units.
