• 6 units

• 8 units

• 10 units

• − 8 units

Answer 1

The distance between A(6, 0) and B(0, −8) is 10 units.

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points A(6, 0) and B(0, −8), we use the distance formula

`"Distance" = sqrt((x_2 − x_1)^2 + (y_2 − y_1)^2)`

Distance = `sqrt((0 − 6)^2 + (−8 − 0)^2)`

Distance = `sqrt((−6)^2 + (−8)^2)`

Distance = `sqrt(36 + 64)`

Distance = `sqrt100`

Distance = 10
