Question

Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house. A) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula	 Eliminate B) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula	 C) Pythagorean Theorem and Slope Formula	 D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem

anonymous · Answer

Slope formula will find you the SLOPE of the line, not the distance. Midpoint will find you the halfway point, but not the distance. Distance formula says it all, and Pythagorean theorem can find you the value of C (the hypotenuse, or the diagonal between the rise and run.|dw:1336701276105:dw|
