Question

15 look at the coordinate grid below. part a what is the distance between points a and b? a 2 units b 3 units c 4 units d 5 units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

Point A has coordinates (1, 4), point B has coordinates (4, 4).

Step2: Use distance formula for same - y points

Since the y - coordinates of A and B are the same, the distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \(d=\vert x_2 - x_1\vert\). Here \(x_1 = 1\), \(x_2=4\), so \(d=\vert4 - 1\vert=3\).

Answer:

B. 3 units
