Answer 7

let us label each point first say A (-12,-16) for Phoenix, B (-20,-9) for Blythe, C (-33,-4) for Los Angeles, and D (-36,5) for San Francisco; assuming also that every point be connected by a straight line, then we can determine the distance for every point, and obtain the total distance traveled from Phoenix to San Francisco...\[d_{AD}=d_{AB}+d_{BC}+d_{CD}\]... the distance between two points can be computed by plug-in their coordinates in Distance Formula:\[d_{12}=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]
