Two roads that cross at right angles are used as the coordinate axes for a city map. A library is located at the point (-4.5, -2.25). How far is the library from each road?

Respuesta :

It is 4.5 away from the Y axis and 2.25 away from the X axis.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two roads that cross at right angles are used as the coordinate axes for a city map.

This means roads are representing x and y axis on the map.

A library is located at the point ( -4.5, -2.25).

Then this point represents x-coordinate as 4.5 and y coordinate as 2.25.

This means the library is 4.5 units away from y-axis and 2.25 units away from x-axis.
