SUMMARY

The distance between the final destination (10,0) and the point (b,0) is calculated as 10 - b. The person walked a total distance of 10 meters from the starting point (0,0) to the final destination (10,0). Prior to reaching the final destination, the individual stopped between two points, (a,0) and (b,0), with a distance of 2 meters separating them. This discussion clarifies the relationship between these points and the final destination.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Cartesian coordinates
  • Basic knowledge of distance calculation in geometry
  • Familiarity with linear equations
  • Graph interpretation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of linear equations in two dimensions
  • Learn about distance formulas in coordinate geometry
  • Explore graphical representations of linear paths
  • Investigate the concept of midpoints in geometry

A person walked a distance of 10m from (0,0) to (10,0) - final distnation; prior to reaching final distancetion he stopped between 2 points (a,0) and (b,0). The distance between (a,0) and (b,0) is 2m. I need to know the distance between (10,0) and (b,0) Please check graph attached
