Use the image to answer the question. The following coordinates represent the location of different events at an upcoming track meet. Based on the coordinate plane, how far is the pole vault from the long jump? (1 point) Responses 3 units 3 units 7 units 7 units 4 units 4 units 2.5 units
To find the distance between the pole vault and the long jump, we need to use the distance formula for two points in a coordinate plane.
The coordinates for the pole vault are (-1, 1) and the coordinates for the long jump are (3, 1).
Using the distance formula:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
distance = √((3 - (-1))^2 + (1 - 1)^2)
distance = √(4^2 + 0^2)
distance = √16
distance = 4 units
Therefore, the distance between the pole vault and the long jump is 4 units.
