Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between two points is given as
Let point 1 be (x1,y1)
Point 2 be (x2,y2)
So the distance between them is given as
d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
So, applying this to the given question
P1=(-5,2)
P2=(-5,6)
Therefore x1=-5 and y1=2
Also x2=-5 and y2=6
Then,
d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
d=√(-5--5)²+(6-2)²
Note -×-=+
d=√(-5+5)²+(4)²
d=√(0)²+16
d=√0+16
d=√16
Then, d= +4units or -4units
But distance cannot be negative.
So the distance between the two given point is 4units
d=4units
