Identifying Points on a Coordinate Plane

The vertices of a quadrilateral drawn on the coordinate plane are

(-6, 6), (4, 6), (2, -5), and (-6, -9).

What is the length of the side joining the vertex in Quadrant II to the vertex in Quadrant III?

• 15 units

• 12 units

• 10 units

• 2 units

Answer explanation
