Giving away 75 points for a good correct answer!!!

Please Help! :)
Also, please show your work.
You can draw on the grid as well.

Angel uses the point (4, 3) to represent the location of her house and uses the point (10, 8) to represent the location of a gas station. Each unit on the graph represents 1 mi. How far is the gas station from Angel’s house?

if you make a right triangle with the two points
(last point (4,8))
then the shorter side would be 5 and the other side would be 6
then the distance would be twice the shortest side (5)

so, 5 times 2 equals 10

sorry if this is really confusing
i don't know how to upload pictures
that may help
