Leora is finding the length of a horizontal line segment on a coordinate grid. she subtracted the x coordinates and got –17.5. what is her next step?

add 17.5.

take the absolute value of –17.5.

add the y-coordinate values.

round up to –17.

Option B. Take the absolute value of -17.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leora is finding the length of a horizontal line segment on a coordinate grid.

Let the end points of the line segment be (0,x) and (0,-x)

So distance between them will be either [ x- (-x) ] = 2x

or [-x -x] = (-2x)

In both the cases length of line segment should be 2x, which is theabsolute value of -2x.

Similarly in this question Leora got the subtracted value as (-17.5).

Therefore next step will be to take the absolute value of (-17.5)

Option (B) is the answer.

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
