Agrid shows the positions of a subway stop and our house. the subway stop is located at (-7,-1), and your house is located at (-3,4) what is the distance to the nearest unit, between your house and the subway stop?

Out of the Answer Choices that you gave, "6" would be corect.

6.4

To solve this problem we are going to be using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: 

I Graphed your points. Now we will find a and b.

Now we will fill in the formula [look at picture to find where i got my numbers]

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 5^2 = c^2

16 + 25 = c^2

41 = c^2

6.4 = c

Sorry for the bad Picture. I drew the triangle myself.
