Example Questions

Example Question #411 : Grade 6

Nicole decided to run from her house to her friend Trisha's house. If we were to draw Nicole's house and Trisha's house on a coordinate plane, Nicole lives at point \(\displaystyle (1,-10)\) and Trisha lives at point \(\displaystyle (-2,-10)\). Create a coordinate plane to help determine the distance, in units, that Nicole runs.

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 3\)

\(\displaystyle 9\)

\(\displaystyle 10\)

\(\displaystyle 1\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 3\)

Explanation:

From our question we know that Nicole lives at point \(\displaystyle (1,-10)\) and Trisha lives at point \(\displaystyle (-2,-10)\). We want to draw a coordinate plane and plot both of these points. Your coordinate plane should look something like the following:
