Question

A coordinate map of the local grocery store is shown below. Ice cream is located at the point (-8,0)(−8,0)left parenthesis, minus, 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!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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
