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. (round to the nearest tenth as needed.) the distance from station j to station k is approximately □ miles.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coordinates of points J and K

Assume the coordinates of point J are \((x_1,y_1)\) and of point K are \((x_2,y_2)\) by looking at the grid. Let's say \(J=( - 4,2)\) and \(K=(8,-3)\) (coordinates are estimated based on the grid - like structure).

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

Substitute \(x_1=-4,y_1 = 2,x_2=8,y_2=-3\) into the formula:
