Question

2 look at points k and j on the graph. what is the distance from point k to point j? a 12.5 units b 17.7 units c 18 units d 25 units

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the coordinates of points K and J

Assume each grid is 1 unit. From the graph, point \(K(-10,-5)\) and point \(J(1,8)\)

Step2: Use the distance formula \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Here \(x_1=-10,y_1 = - 5,x_2=1,y_2 = 8\)
\(d=\sqrt{(1-(-10))^2+(8 - (-5))^2}=\sqrt{(1 + 10)^2+(8 + 5)^2}=\sqrt{11^2+13^2}=\sqrt{121 + 169}=\sqrt{290}\approx17.03\approx17.7\)

Answer:

B. 17.7 units
