Explanation:
You can use the distance formula
[tex]d = \sqrt{ (x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (1-1)^2 + (-4-18)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (0)^2 + (-22)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 22^2}\\\\d = 22\\\\[/tex]
----------------
A shorter method is to subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value
So either |-4-18| = |-22| = 22
Or, |18 - (-4)| = |18+4| = |22| = 22
This method only works because the x coordinates are the same. We can also use this method if the y coordinates were the same with the x coordinates being different.
