Maps are often represented on coordinate planes like the one shown below. Each unit on the grid represents one mile. Example: A building located at (0, 2) is 2 miles away from a building located at (0, 4).
Write your answers on another piece of paper. Show all of your work to receive full credit.
There are six buildings that need to be plotted on a city grid: City Hall (0, 1), Bobcat Stadium (3, 2), McKinley High School (-4, 1), Westfield Mall (4, -3), Roberts Middle School (-4, 3), and Grover’s Mill (-3, -4). Place a point on the graph to represent each building and label it with the correct building name.
Which building is farther to the west: Roberts Middle School or the Grover’s Mill? Explain your answer in words and by writing an inequality using the proper coordinates and either the greater than (<) or less than (>) sign.
All roads in the city travel either north and south or east and west. How many miles must the city’s residents travel to go from the Bobcat Stadium to Grover’s Mill? Explain. Your explanation should include absolute value.
