Question

On a coordinate map, Sherry’s house at at point (10, -2) and the mall is at point (-4,-2). If each unit on the map represents one block, what is the distance between Sherry’s house and the mall?

Answer 1

Answer:

14 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

(10,-2)

(-4,-2)

x value-      10-(-4)=14

y value- Since both y values are the same, you don't do anything.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

distance formula = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

√(-4-10)^2 + (-2-(-2))^2

√(-14)^2 + (0)^2

√196 + 0 = 14

she is 14 units from the mall

(i say units because I don't know if its miles or feet)
