Part 3: Now using the coordinates you found in Part 2 what are the distances of each in miles? Must show work for credit (1 point each)

Example: Mall (-1, 9) to Sushi (-1, -8)

Because these coordinates are in different quadrants we have to add the absolute values of the coordinates. Since the Mall and Sushi are on the same x coordinate we add the absolute values of the y coordinates. If they shared the same y coordinate then we would add the absolute values of the x coordinates.

So |9| + |-8| = 9 + 8 = 17

The Mall is 17 miles from the Sushi place

To calculate the distances between the specified coordinates, we will follow the same methodology described in the example.

  1. Cafe to Bank
    Let's assume the coordinates are:
    Cafe = (x₁, y₁)
    Bank = (x₂, y₂)

    The distance is calculated based on whether the points share an x or y coordinate.
    If they share the same x-coordinate:
    Distance = |y₁| + |y₂|
    If they share the same y-coordinate:
    Distance = |x₁| + |x₂|

    (Please provide the coordinates for Cafe and Bank to continue.)

  2. Pizza to Bank
    Similar to the previous calculation, we'll need the coordinates:
    Pizza = (x₁, y₁)
    Bank = (x₂, y₂)

    Distance (if they share the same x or y):
    Please provide the coordinates for Pizza and Bank.

  3. Grocery Store to Post Office
    Again, we need the coordinates:
    Grocery Store = (x₁, y₁)
    Post Office = (x₂, y₂)

    Distance calculation will depend on shared coordinates:
    Please provide the coordinates for Grocery Store and Post Office.

  4. Home to Cafe
    For this calculation as well, we need the coordinates:
    Home = (x₁, y₁)
    Cafe = (x₂, y₂)

    Use the same distance formula based on shared coordinates:
    Please provide the coordinates for Home and Cafe.

Once you provide the coordinates for each location, I can assist you with the calculations.
