Question

#3: the coordinate plane below represents a map, where each unit on the grid represents 2 miles. what is the distance between tommys school and the library?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the distance on the grid

Count the units between the library \((-6,6)\) and the school \((2,6)\) on the \(x -\)axis. The number of units is \(| - 6-2|=8\) units.

Step2: Calculate the actual distance

Since each unit represents \(2\) miles, the actual distance \(d = 8\times2\) miles.

Answer:

\(16\) miles
