The distance between the two points can be found by using the line connecting the two points on the chart as the hypotenuse of a triangle. Then, using the Pythagorean Theorem,

a² + b² = c², where a and b are side lengths and c is the hypotenuse of the triangle, you will be able to compute the distance between the two points on the graph.

a = 3 units

b = 3 units

Therefore, using the formula shown above,

3² + 3² = c²

9 + 9 = c²

18 = c²

√18 = c


Thus, the distance between the two points is √18.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions if necessary.
