distance = y-coordinate for the school - y-coordinate for the house
distanc=6
ExplanatIon
Step 1
to go from Jean's house to the school, we move up, only in vertical, so the change is in the y-coordinate, so the subtraction is
[tex]\text{distance form Jean's house to school is= coordinate y (school)- y-coordinate(house)}[/tex]
replacing
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{distance=4-(-2)} \\ dis\tan ace=4+2=6 \\ dis\tan ce\text{ =6} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
I hope this helps you
