Answer 1

The distance between the points A(0, 6) and B(0, –2) is 8.

Explanation:

Distance formula: d² = (x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²

According to the question,

We have,

x₁ = 0, x₂ = 0

y₁ = 6, y₂ = – 2

d² = (0 – 0)² + ( – 2 – 6)²

d = `sqrt((0)^2 + (- 8)^2`

d = `sqrt(64)`

d = 8 units

Therefore, the distance between A(0, 6) and B(0, –2) is 8.
