aroub · Answer

do it by using the distance formula (do u know it?)

anonymous · Answer

If you start at point  A(3,2) and move to point B(9,1) how far did you move vertically (how much does your y-part change)?

anonymous · Answer

You understand how the x/y parts of the points are specified?

anonymous · Answer

i did the distance formula and got 3 as my answer

anonymous · Answer

But it's not asking for the distance from A to B. It's asking for the length of the vertical leg.

anonymous · Answer

So you just have to find how much you change vertically.

anonymous · Answer

I apologixe you are right

anonymous · Answer

apologize

anonymous · Answer

Did you figure it out?

anonymous · Answer

no I dont know how to go about doing that

anonymous · Answer

Ok well what's the y-value of the point (3,2) ?

anonymous · Answer

I guess you've moved on.
