Understanding Coordinate Systems and Distances

The video tutorial explains how to navigate a grid system similar to a coordinate plane. It begins with Milena's journey from her home to the mall, demonstrating how to plot points and calculate distances. The tutorial then shifts to Carlos, who is placing a nail in the center of a line, and concludes with an analysis of which town is closer to a train station along a specified route.

What is the starting point of Milena's journey?

• Point (-3, -4)

• Point (3, 4)

• Point (-3, 4)

• Point (3, -4)

What is the x-coordinate of the mall?

• 3

• -3

• -7

• 4

How many blocks does Milena travel to reach the mall?

• 9 blocks

• 10 blocks

• 11 blocks

• 12 blocks

How do you calculate the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

• Subtract the x-coordinates

• Add the y-coordinates

• Add the x-coordinates

• Subtract the y-coordinates

Where does Carlos place the nail on the blue line?

• At x = 3, y = 0

• At x = 3, y = 4

• At x = 0, y = 3

• At x = 0, y = 4

What is the length of the blue line where Carlos places the nail?

• 4 units

• 7 units

• 5 units

• 6 units

Which town is closer to the train station along the route?

• Cannot be determined

• Both are equidistant

• Town B

• Town A

How many units does Town A need to travel along the x-direction to reach the station?

• 5 units

• 6 units

• 7 units

• 8 units

What is the y-coordinate of the train station?

• 3

• 2

• 4

• 1

How many total units does Town B travel to reach the station?

• 15 units

• 16 units

• 18 units

• 17 units
