Example Questions

Example Question #331 : The Number System

Kameron decided to run from her house to her friend Alex's house. If we were to draw Kameron's house and Alex's house on a coordinate plane, Kameron lives at point \(\displaystyle (-1,1)\) and Alex lives at point \(\displaystyle (-1,-13)\). Create a coordinate plane to help determine the distance, in units, that Kameron runs.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 1\)

\(\displaystyle 14\)

\(\displaystyle 13\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 14\)

Explanation:

From our question we know that Kameron lives at point \(\displaystyle (-1,1)\) and Alex lives at point \(\displaystyle (-1,-13)\). We want to draw a coordinate plane and plot both of these points. Your coordinate plane should look something like the following:
