Question

Joe has been given a treasure map on which he must plot three points. There is a portion of the treasure at each point. Point A is at (-4,0), Point B is at (-4,5), and Point C is at (4,2). If Joe has already found his at Point A, how far must he walk to get to Point B? I think it has something to do with a coordinate plane, I'm not sure.

Answer 1

yo has to find distance from A to B
since the x coordinate didn't move ( from -4 to -4) we find the distance the y moved
from 0 to 5 is 5 units

he has to walk 5 units
