Question

Point K is at (−5, 2) and Point L is at (6, 2). The distance from Point K to Point L is _____
units.

Answer 1

Do you know the distance formula?

\( \Large\text{Distance} = \sqrt{ (\color{cyan}{x_2} -\color{red}{x_1})^2 + (\color{green}{y_2} - \color{orange}{y_1)}^2 } \)

where you have two points
\(\Large (\color{red}{x_1}, \color{orange}{y_1})\) and \(\Large (\color{cyan}{x_2}, \color{green}{y_2})\)

So your two points are

\((\color{red}{-5}, \color{orange}{2})\) and \((\color{cyan}{6}, \color{green}{2})\)

Answer 2

you could also plot your two points on a graph and count since they're both on the same line

Answer 3

What's the distance between them? You can just count the squares since each square is one unit long

Answer 4

ok so is it 12??

Answer 5

close but count again

Answer 6

we're going from -5 to 6

so basically 6 - (-5) = ?

Answer 7

k umm......13 or 11

Answer 8

count count

how much is it from -5 to 0

and then how much is it from 0 to 6
