Question

Which distance is greater: from Roller Coaster 1 to Roller Coaster 3 or from the Water Slide to Roller Coaster 2? Justify your answer using the coordinate for each ride.

Answer 1

Answer:

distance from the Water Slide to Roller Coaster 2

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Distance from Roller Coaster 1 (-6, 7) to Roller Coaster 3 (-6, -3):

Distance = |7 - (-3)| = |7 + 3| = 10 units

✔️Distance from the Water slide (8, -8) to Roller Coaster 2 (-6, -8):

Distance = |8 - (-6)| = |8 + 6| = 14 units

✔️The distance from the Water Slide to Roller Coaster 2 (14 units) is greater than the distance from Roller Coaster 1 to Roller Coaster 3 (10 units)
