Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates are the same, so we subtract the y coordinates and use absolute value to ensure the result isn't negative.

|-30.5 - 9.7| = |-40.2| = 40.2

One unit represents 1 km, so 40.2 units represent 40.2 km

This converts to 40,200 meters. Multiply by 1000 to go from km to meters.
