Two students are using the distance formula to determine the distance between 9,4 and -3,8 on a coordinate grid, their work is done below. Which best explains why the order in which the subtraction occurred did not cause a difference in the answers determined by the two girls?
I would most definitely help you, but there is no picture to show the work of the two girls, if you could re-post the question with a picture, then I'll definitely help!
