The correct Answer is:
To find the distance between the points A(-6, -1) and B(-6, 11), we can use the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of the points**: - Point A has coordinates \( (x_1, y_1) = (-6, -1) \) - Point B has coordinates \( (x_2, y_2) = (-6, 11) \) 2. **Substitute the coordinates into the distance formula**: \[ d = \sqrt{((-6) - (-6))^2 + (11 - (-1))^2} \] 3. **Calculate the differences**: - For the x-coordinates: \[ (-6) - (-6) = 0 \] - For the y-coordinates: \[ 11 - (-1) = 11 + 1 = 12 \] 4. **Plug the differences back into the formula**: \[ d = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (12)^2} \] 5. **Simplify the expression**: \[ d = \sqrt{0 + 144} = \sqrt{144} \] 6. **Calculate the square root**: \[ d = 12 \] ### Conclusion: The distance between points A and B is \( 12 \). Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) 12.
