His house is at (−4, 5).
His school is at (−4, 3).
The community center is at (6, 3).
The grocery store is at (−4, −9).

Part A: Use absolute values to calculate the distance in units from Sean's house to his school. Show your work.

Part B: Is the total distance from Sean's house to the school to the grocery store greater than the total distance from Sean's house to the school to the community center? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Can you plot the points?

Answer 2

You should be able

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Once you plot the points it will be easy to find the distances

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Consider if x-coordinates are same the distance is the difference of y-coordinates

Answer 7

Same for y-coordinates

Answer 8

Part A should be straight away. Do you know the answer now?

Answer 9

oh yeah, ok I get it now

Answer 10

I got number 2 also thank u

Answer 11

That's correct. I believe you can do Part B as well.

Answer 12
