The distance between points J and K can be calculated using the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates of J (1, 5) and K (5, 0):
d = sqrt((5-1)^2 + (0-5)^2)
d = sqrt(16 + 25)
d = sqrt(41)
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the distance between points J and K is 6.
Therefore, the correct answer is 6.
You are helping to plan a community garden. Sprinklers need to be set up at each end of the garden plot for irrigation, plus one more at the midpoint.
A coordinate graph is shown. A line segment extends from point J, which is labeled 1 comma 5, down and to the right to point K, which is labeled 5 comma 0.
