Question

the units of the subway map below are in miles. suppose the routes between stations are straight. find the approximate distance a passenger would travel between stations j and k.
the distance from station j to station k is approximately miles.
(round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of points J and K

Assume the coordinates of point J are \((x_1,y_1)=(6,2)\) and the coordinates of point K are \((x_2,y_2)=(3, - 1)\)

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

Substitute \(x_1 = 6,y_1 = 2,x_2 = 3,y_2=-1\) into the formula:

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

\(4.2\)
