Question

A coordinate map of the local grocery store is shown below. ice cream is located at the point (-8,0) sprinkles. are located at the point (-8,6)

Answer 1

The points (-8,0) & (-8,6)

To find the distance between then

Apply the distance formulae for coordinates:

$\text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Substitute the coordinates:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2} \\ \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{(6-0)^2+(-8-(-8))^2} \\ \text{ Distance=}\sqrt[]{6^2+0} \\ \text{Distance =6 units} \end{gathered}$

So, Icecream is 6 units away from the sprinkles

Answer : 6 unit
