Based on the distance to the end of the hike and the distance to the scenic lookout, we can calculate that the straight route is 2 km shorter than the scenic lookout route.
If Maria took the straight route to the end of the Hike from the coordinates, (4, -4) to (-5, 5), she would have to walk 13 km.
If she went the scenic lookout route, she would have to first go to (2,3) before going to (-5,5) which is 15 km.
The difference is:
= 15 - 13
= 2 km
A more readable version of the question is:
Maria is on a hike. If she hikes to the scenic lookout on the following map first, she will have to hike farther than if she went straight to the end of the hike.
3 connected points on a coordinate plane. The point labeled, "Maria," is at 4, -4. The point labeled, "end," is at -5, 5.
A solid line connect the points "Maria" and "end." The point labeled, "scenic lookout," is at 2, 3. Dashed lines connect "Maria" to "scenic lookout" and connect "scenic lookout" to "end."
