Question

On a coordinate plane, Curtis lives at (-4,-6) and John lives at (-4,-3) . If each unit on the grid is a mile, how many miles apart are John and Curtis.

Answer 1

3 miles

Explanation:

Since the x coordinates are the same, we only need to find the distance between the y coordinates

-3 - -6

-3 +6

3 units

Each unit is 1 mile

3 units * 1 miles / 1 unit = 3 miles
