Determine the Length of a Side in the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial addresses a standardized math test question involving a triangle on a coordinate plane. It explains how to plot the triangle's vertices and calculate the length of side EG using two methods: counting on the graph and using a number line. The solution is verified as 6 units.

What are the coordinates of point E in the triangle?

• (0, 0)

• (4, -3)

• (1, 5)

• (-2, -3)

How do you plot point F on the coordinate plane?

• Move left 2 and down 3

• Move left 1 and up 5

• Move right 1 and up 5

• Move right 4 and down 3

What is the y-coordinate of point G?

• -3

• 5

• 1

• 4

What is the length of side EG of the triangle?

• 5 units

• 4 units

• 6 units

• 7 units

If the x-coordinates of E and G are -2 and 4 respectively, what is the distance between them?

• 4 units

• 5 units

• 7 units

• 6 units
