Question

Her house is at (−4, 10). Her school is at (−4, 3). The community center is at (2, 3). The grocery store is at (−4, −6). Part A: Use absolute values to calculate the distance in units from Nina's house to her school

Answer 1

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

house is at (−4, 10). Her school is at (−4, 3)

House location = (-4, 10)

School location = (-4, 3)

Distance from house to school (d) :

Distance between two points :

x = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

x1 = - 4 ; y1 = 10 ; x2 = - 4 ; y2 = 3

d = sqrt[(-4 - (-4))^2 + (3 - 10)^2]

d = sqrt[(-4 + 4)^2 + (-7)^2]

d = sqrt(0 + (-7)^2)

d = sqrt(49)

d = 7 units
