Question

On the coordinate grid, your campsite is located at (-1,3) and the next checkpoint station is located at (3,-3). Each unit in the coordinate plane represents 1.4 miles. Find the distance you have to hike to reach the next checkpoint station

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 10. 1 miles

Explanation:

data

P = (-1, 3)

Q = (3, -3)

Formula

d = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

d = √)(3- -1)² + (-3-3))

d = √ (4² + -6²)

d = √ (16 + 36)

d = √ 52

d = 7.21 units

but

1 units ----------------------- 1.4 miles

7.21 units --------------------- x

x = 7.21 x 1.4/1 = 10.1 miles
