Given Coordinates: x1 = 3 y1 = 5, x2 = 3 y2 = -2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(3 − 3)2 + (-2 − 5)2
d = √02 + (-7)2
d = √0 + 49
d = √49
d = 7
Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 5) and (3, -2) is equal to 7
Note: Since x1 = x2, the distance between (3, 5) and (3, -2) is equal to the absolute value of the difference between y2 (-2) and y1 (5), d = |-2 − 5| = 7
