The coordinates of the point J are (4,5) and the coordinates of point K are (9,5). What is the distance, in units, between the point J and point K ?Answer: □ units
Q. The coordinates of the point J are (4,5) and the coordinates of point K are (9,5). What is the distance, in units, between the point J and point K ?Answer: □ units
Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of points J and K.Point J has coordinates (4,5) and point K has coordinates (9,5).
Check Y-Coordinates: Since the y-coordinates of points J and K are the same, they lie on a horizontal line, and the distance between them is the difference in their x-coordinates.Calculate the difference in x-coordinates: 9−4.
Calculate Difference: Perform the subtraction to find the distance. 9−4=5
Perform Subtraction: The distance between point J and point K is 5 units.Answer: 5 units
