Question

Vicky created a map of her neighborhood on a coordinate plane. Her house is located at (-3, 6) and her school is located at (-3 -1) How far, in units, is Vicky's house from her school?

Answer 1

Plotting the points, you see that they lie on the same line: x=-3.

Therefore, you only need to find the distance between the y-coordinates.

6-(-1)=7, so therefore, Vicky's house is 7 units apart from her school.
