Question

A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (7, -7) and your house is located at (-3, 3). What is the distance, to the nearest unit, between your house and the subway stop?

Answer 1

Distance = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$
so plug in the coordinates and you will get 14.14 units 

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance between house and the subway stop = 14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By distance formula the distance between (a,b) and (c,d) is $\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}$

Here we need to find distance between (7,-7) and (-3,3)

Distance between house and the subway stop $\sqrt{(-3-7)^2+(3-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{100+100}=\sqrt{200}=14.14$

Distance between house and the subway stop = 14 units
