Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

a very strange question. maybe you lost some part of the original question ?

because as it is written there can be only one answer :

the distance between 2 points always means the length of the direct connection.

and that would be based on Pythagoras for the right-angled triangle that is created by the direct connection between the points (the Hypotenuse) and the circumstances differences in x and in y direction (as the legs of the triangle) :

distance² = (4-9)² + (3-15)² = 25 + 144 = 169

distance = 13 units.

but if the question is about the distances in x and y direction, then we get for the distance in x direction

|4-9| = 5 units

and for the distance in y direction

|3-15| = 12 units
