We use the distance formula for this problem.
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
The distance between point (-2,-2) and point (-2,4).
d = √[(⁻2 - ⁻2)² + (4 - ⁻2)²] = 6 units
Then, compute for 20% of 6 units:
Distance traveled = 6(0.2) = 1.2 units
Use 1.2 units as distance and the starting point (-2,-2). The x-coordinate should still be at -2 because the distance is a straight line as shown in the picture.
1.2 = √[(-2 - ⁻2)² + (y - ⁻2)²]
Solving for y,
y = -0.8
The point is found at (-2,-0.8). This is located at quadrant 3. As to the distance traveled, that would be: 1.2*6 = 6 miles. Thus, the answer is C.
Meters, yards are not in the metric system
D, volume = widthxheightxlength
I could use the points so if you want to mark this as helpful that would be cool :)
