Question

(HELP) The town of Miami is mapped on a coordinate

grid with the origin being at City Hall. Jordan's house
is located at the point (-5, 7) and Ca'Miyah's house is
located at (-2, 3). To the nearest tenth, How far is it
from Jordan's house to Ca'Miyah's house?
(51)

Answer 1

Answer: 5.2

Explanation:

If we put both points on a grid, Jordan's house would be 4 points above and 3 points to the left of Ca'Miyah's. We can plug these two amounts into the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the houses: 4^2 + 3^2 = x^2. If we solve this equation, we get 5.196, which rounds to 5.2.

Hope this helps!
