Her school is at (−4, 3). The community center is at (1, 3). The grocery store is at (−4, −8). Part A: Use absolute values to calculate the distance in units from Maria's house to her school. Show your work. Part B: Is the total distance from Maria's house to the school to the grocery store greater than the total distance from Maria's house to the school to the community center? Justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

part a is 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A: Her house: (-4, 9) Her school: (-4, 3). -4 is the same, so we don't need that. |9|=9, |3|=3, and 9 – 3 = 6. So, that means the distance in units from Maria's house to her school is 6 units apart from each other
