Question

when graphed on a coordinate plane beths house is located at \\((4, 3)\\) and the coffee shop is located at the point \\((-2, -1)\\). what is the distance from beths house to the coffee shop? each grid line on the coordinate plane represents 1 mile.

\\(\bigcirc\\) 10 miles
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\sqrt{8}\\) miles
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\sqrt{52}\\) miles
\\(\bigcirc\\) 52 miles

Explanation:

Identify the coordinates of the two points

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (4, 3),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (-2, -1) $$

Apply the distance formula

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

  • (A) 10 miles
  • (B) \(\sqrt{8}\) miles
  • (C) \(\sqrt{52}\) miles (Correct answer)
  • (D) 52 miles
