The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine which pair of points shows an 8-foot row of lettuce<\/strong>, we need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Understand that each unit on the graph = 1 foot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the distance formula<\/strong> or simply subtract coordinates to find the length<\/strong> of each row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Only choose the row that measures exactly 8 feet<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s analyze each pair of points:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Option A: (-1, -6) and (8, -6)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • This row is horizontal<\/strong> because the y-values are the same<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Distance = |8 – (-1)| = |8 + 1| = 9 feet<\/strong> \u274c<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Option B: (-4, -1) and (-4, 7)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • This row is vertical<\/strong> (same x-values).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Distance = |7 – (-1)| = |7 + 1| = 8 feet<\/strong> \u2705<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • This row is exactly 8 feet long<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Option C: (-6, -1) and (-6, 8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • This is also vertical<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Distance = |8 – (-1)| = |8 + 1| = 9 feet<\/strong> \u274c<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          Option D: (-1, -4) and (7, -4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • This is horizontal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Distance = |7 – (-1)| = |7 + 1| = 8 feet<\/strong> \u2705<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • This is also 8 feet long<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            So which is correct?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            \u2705 Both Option B and Option D<\/strong> show rows that are 8 feet long. But the question asks for which points could<\/strong> (so plural), so both are valid answers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            \u2705 Option B: (-4, -1) and (-4, 7)<\/strong>
            \u2705 Option D: (-1, -4) and (7, -4)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Collette is planting a vegetable garden and maps it on a graph where each unit equals 1 foot. She plants an 8-foot row of lettuce and wants to identify where this row starts and ends. To solve this, we examine the given point pairs to find those that represent a straight line segment that is exactly 8 units (or feet) long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            A line between two points can be either horizontal or vertical. In a horizontal row<\/strong>, the y-values are the same and we subtract the x-values to get the distance. In a vertical row<\/strong>, the x-values are the same and we subtract the y-values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            We analyze each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Option A is a horizontal row with coordinates (-1, -6) and (8, -6). The length is 9 feet, so it’s too long.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Option B is a vertical row with points (-4, -1) and (-4, 7). The distance is |7 – (-1)| = 8 feet. This is a valid row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Option C is also vertical: (-6, -1) and (-6, 8). The length is 9 feet\u2014not correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Option D is horizontal: (-1, -4) to (7, -4). The distance is |7 – (-1)| = 8 feet. Also valid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              So, Option B and Option D both correctly represent 8-foot rows of lettuce<\/strong>. Since the question uses “could,” it suggests multiple correct answers. Thus, both options are acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
