Question

Need answer ASAP I’m timed What is the distance between the points (7, 8) and (-8, 0) on a coordinate grid?

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

(7, 8) (-8, 0)

First find how much the point moved in y to the second point.

8-0=8

So one side is 8.

Then find how much it moved in x. 7-(-8)=15

So the other side is 15

This will give you 2 sides of a triangle where one sides lenght is 8 the other is 15. Use the pythagoras theorem which is x squared plus y squared = c squared

8^2+15^2=c^2

64+225=c^2

289=c^2 Take the square root of both sides to solve for C

√289= √C^2

17 = c
