: Find the distance between the points A(4, -3) and B(-4, 3). I came up with:
d=(4-(-4))^2 + (-3-3)^2=10
If points A, B, and C lie on a coordinate line and points A and B have coordinates 15 and 7 respectively, then which of the possible coordinates for point C satisfy(ies) d(A,C)< d(B, C)?

Congratulations!! 10 is correct

For C to be closer to A than to B, C must be on the A side of the midpoint between A and B...midpoint=(A+B)/2...or 11...since A>B, C>11
