We will have to calculate the distance between the two points ( that is between Ty's house to library
[tex]\text{distance betw}en\text{ two points = }\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex][tex](x_1,y_1)=(7,8)and(x_2,y_2)=(7,-6)_{}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} d=\text{ }\sqrt[]{(7-7)^2+(-6-8)^2}\text{ =}\sqrt{\text{ }0^2+(-14)^2}\text{ =}\sqrt[]{14^2\text{ }} \\ d=\text{ 14} \end{gathered}[/tex]There are 14 blocks between Ty's house to the library
