Example Question #341 : Grade 6

Avery decided to run from her house to her friend Erica's house. If we were to draw Avery's house and Erica's house on a coordinate plane, Avery lives at point  and Erica lives at point . Create a coordinate plane to help determine the distance, in units, that Avery runs.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

From our question we know that Avery lives at point  and Erica lives at point . We want to draw a coordinate plane and plot both of these points. Your coordinate plane should look something like the following:

Plot 12
