In a coordinate plane, what is the distance between the points (−8,−5) and (7,−5)?

Sagot :

Since these two coordinates are on the same Y-axis, we can assume that this is a straight line and do not need to create a triangle and solve for the hypotenuse. The distance from -8 to 0 is 8, and the distance from 0 to 7 is 7. Meaning that the distance between the two points is 15 units.
