Question

Point J (-4, -6) and point K (4, 4) are located on a coordinate grid. Which measurement is closest to the distance between point J and point K in units?

Answer 1

Answer:

The points are sqrt(164) or 2sqrt(41) units apart.

Explanation:

You didn't provide the options in your question. But to find the distance, you need to use the distance formula.

d=sqrt((y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)

d is the distance, and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the points.

Use point J (-4,-6) for (x1,y1) and point K (4,4) for (x2, y2).

d=sqrt((4-(-6))^2 + (4-(-4))^2)

 =sqrt(10^2 + 8^2)

 =sqrt(100+64)

 =sqrt(164)=2sqrt(41)

You can compare this to the answer options and find the closest. Hope I could help! :)
