Question

A fishing map is laid out on a coordinate plane with each unit equal to 1 mile. The boat is launched from the point (2, 0) and goes to point (2, −2) to fish. From there, the boat travels to (0, 0) to fish and then goes back to the launch point.

Determine the total number of miles traveled. Round to the nearest mile.

2 miles
4 miles
7 miles
12 miles

Answer 1

The answer should be 8

Traveling to -2 is two miles then traveling to 0,0 is 4 miles which brings us up to 6 miles, finally we go back to 2,0 which is another 2 miles so (8) is the answer
