The coordinates of the point T are (5, -6) and the coordinates of point U are
(-7, -6). What is the distance, in units, between the point T and point U?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!!

Here, the points of T and U are (5,-6) and (-7,-6) respectively.

Using formula for distance between two points.

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

Keep all values.

[tex](distance ) = \sqrt{ {( - 7 - 5)}^{2} + {( - 6 + 6)}^{2} } [/tex]

Simplify them to get answer.

[tex](distance) = \sqrt{( { - 12}^{2} + ( {0)}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex](distance) = \sqrt{144} [/tex]

Therefore the distance between T and U is 12 units.

Hope it helps ...
