Question

A map is created on a coordinate plane . Typ's house is located at (7,8) and the library is located at (7,-6) Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block. How many blocks is it from Ty's house to the library? explain

Answer 1

We will have to calculate the distance between the two points ( that is between Ty's house to library

`\text{distance betw}en\text{ two points = }\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}`
`(x_1,y_1)=(7,8)and(x_2,y_2)=(7,-6)_{}`
`\begin{gathered} d=\text{ }\sqrt[]{(7-7)^2+(-6-8)^2}\text{ =}\sqrt{\text{ }0^2+(-14)^2}\text{ =}\sqrt[]{14^2\text{ }} \\ d=\text{ 14} \end{gathered}`

There are 14 blocks between Ty's house to the library
