What is the distance between the following points:
A (5, 3) , B (13, 3)

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y for both points is 3 it is on the same line.... I have a screenshot attached. Next you would have to plot these points, I have another screenshot for that. Now, you would just have to count the distance between them. The easier way is to just subtract 5 from 13 (13-5) and you'll get 8.

Hope this helps :D

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
