Question

Can you find the distance using the graph?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The line is $\sqrt{65}$ units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.

The line travels 8 units across and 1 down. These are the "sides" of the triangle, and we can treat the line given as the hypotenuse of the triangle.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\1^2 + 8^2 = c^2\\\\1 + 64 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{65}$

The line is $\sqrt{65}$ units long.
