Question

mark wants to add the location of the library on hte coordinate plane. the distance from the library to the school is the same as the distance from the bank to the school. which ordered pair could be the coordinates of the library?

Answer 1

   (2, 8)

Explanation:

• Assume that the school is plotted at the coordinates (2, 4) and the bank is plotted along the coordinates (6, 4).

• The distance between the school and the bank will be 4 units.
• According to the question,

Distance between library and school = Distance between school and bank

• That is, distance between library and school = 4 units

• Hence, if the the library is plotted at the coordinates (2,8), the distance between library and school will also be 4 units.
