which expression could help you find the distance between (10,4) and (-6,4) ?
A. |10| + |-4|
B. |10| = |4|
C. |-6| + |4|
D. |10| + |-6|

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option D. |10| + |-6|

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

[tex]d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}[/tex]

we have

(10,4) and (-6,4)

substitute

[tex]d=\sqrt{(4-4)^{2}+(-6-10)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-16)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d=16\ units[/tex]

therefore

The expression that could help to find the distance is

[tex]|10| + |-6|=10+6=16\ units[/tex]
