Given:

Ty’s house is located ( 7,8) and the library is located ( 7,-6).

Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block.

To find:

The number of blocks from Ty’s house to the library.

Solution:

Distance formula:


D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

We need to find the distance between the two points ( 7,8) and ( 7,-6).

Using the distance formula, we get


D=√((7-7)^2+(-6-8)^2)


D=√((0)^2+(-14)^2)


D=√(196)


D=14

The distance between the two points ( 7,8) and ( 7,-6) is 14 units.

We know that, each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block.

Therefore, there are 14 blocks from Ty’s house to the library.
