What is the distance between the points (4, 5) and (10, 13) on a coordinate plane? A. 10 units B. 12 units C. 14 units D. 8 units

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Have you tried graphing?

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

@FFASinger have you tried to graph these?

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

idk how to

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Can you print graph paper or download a pic of graph paper and graph the points on a computer program?

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

no im srry

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Ok well...I have the points graphed on a pic.. I can send it if you cant draw a graph

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

ok i guess

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Tell me when you finished drawing the graph... If you can draw it... ^.^

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

done

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Ok do you have the points graphed?

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

si senorita

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Ok now how do you think we figure out how many units away (4, 5) is from (10, 13)?

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

D

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Nope. That is now the answer. Would you like me to give you a hint on how to find the distance?

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

not* ..w button loves to replace the t's in all my words >.>

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Ok so from your graphed points count how many units to the right or left (in this case it'd be right). Then count how many units up until you get to the second dot.

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Make sure to start at point (4, 5) though.. @FFASinger

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

ok

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Tell me what you think the answer is afterwards ^.^

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

A

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Not quite. Close though

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

B??

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Nope. Not B either. What answer does that leave you with now?

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Did you count correctly? @FFASinger

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

idk

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

From (4, 5) count the units to the right until you are on the line the second point, (10, 13) is on. Tell me how many that is. @FFASinger

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

C

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

Yes. That is correct.

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

no it was A

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

I did it all correctly which was C for me...Well im sorry my answer wasnt correct .3.

OpenStudy (ffasinger):

itfine

OpenStudy (vespersaviour):

I actually feel really bad now >.<
