Help Please lol

Rylee88:

The map of a biking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid. The trail starts at P(−2, 1) and goes to Q(6, 1). It goes from Q to R(6, −3) and then to S(9, −3). What is the total length (in units) of the biking trail?

Extrinix:

Rylee88:

Ok

Extrinix:

look at the graph, to find the total length in units, count each square over, ill draw over it so it makes more sense

Rylee88:

uh huh

Extrinix:

Extrinix:

you count each square to find the units, the you add all of those together to get your answer

Rylee88:

Is the Answer R?

Extrinix:

no, R is a point, how many \(units\) is the biking trail

Rylee88:

4?

Extrinix:

no, add \(all\) of the units together like this (below \(\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\downarrow\text{ }\), ) \(\\ \huge 10+4+3\)

Rylee88:

17

Extrinix:

exactly, 17 units.

Rylee88:

Oh ok, but thats wrong

Extrinix:

sorry correct myself here* 8+4+3

Rylee88:

Oh ok 15 thx

Extrinix:
