A coordinate map of the local grocery store is shown below. Ice cream is located at the point (-8,0)(−8,0)left parenthesis, minu
s, 8, comma, 0, right parenthesis. Sprinkles are located at the point (-8,6)(−8,6)left parenthesis, minus, 8, comma, 6, right parenthesis. PLEASE HELP ME!!
If on the coordinate map, ice cream is located at the point (-8,0) and sprinkles are located at the point (-8,6), we can find the distance between the coordinate points using the formula;
D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
Given
x1 = -8, y1 = 0, x2 = -8 and y2 = 6
Substitute
D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
D = √(-8-(-8))²+(6-0)²
D = √0²+6²
D = √36
D = 6units
Hence the distance between the coordinate points is 6units
