distance = y-coordinate for the school - y-coordinate for the house

distanc=6

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

to go from Jean's house to the school, we move up, only in vertical, so the change is in the y-coordinate, so the subtraction is


\text{distance form Jean's house to school is= coordinate y (school)- y-coordinate(house)}

replacing


\begin{gathered} \text{distance=4-(-2)} \\ dis\tan ace=4+2=6 \\ dis\tan ce\text{ =6} \\ \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
