## Envision Math Common Core 6th Grade Answers Key Topic 2 Integers and Rational Numbers

?Topic Essential Question What are integers and rational numbers? How are points graphed on a coordinate plane?
An “Integer” can be written as a fraction by giving it a denominator of one. So, any integer is a rational number
“Rational numbers” are those numbers that are integers and can be expressed in the form of $$\frac{x}{y}$$ where both numerator and denominator are integers
To graph or plot points, we use two perpendicular lines called the x-axis and the y-axis. The horizontal number line is the x-axis and the vertical line is the y-axis.  Every point in the coordinate plane is represented by an ordered pair of x and y coordinates.

The ULTIMATE THROW

The Ultimate Throw
Have you ever played ultimate? It’s a team sport played with a flying disc. The goal is to score the most points by passing the disc to your opponent’s end zone. Ultimate is played by millions of people across the globe, from casual games to professional leagues.

There are many ways to throw a flying disc. It takes a lot of practice to learn each type of throw. If you want the disc to travel a specific path and distance, you need to try different throws with different amounts of spin and power. Think about this during the 3-Act Mathematical Modeling lesson.

The given table from part B is:

Now,
We know that,
“Absolute value” refers to a point’s distance from zero or origin on the number line, regardless of the direction. The absolute value of a number is always positive
So,
The absolute values for the number of pounds eaten are:
|-$$\frac{3}{2}$$| = $$\frac{3}{2}$$
|-$$\frac{2}{3}$$| = $$\frac{2}{3}$$
|-0.5| = 0.5

a. The absolute values for the number of pounds eaten are:
|-$$\frac{3}{2}$$| = $$\frac{3}{2}$$
|-$$\frac{2}{3}$$| = $$\frac{2}{3}$$
|-0.5| = 0.5

We know that,
Let (x, a), and (y, b) are the two points
Now,
The absolute distance of (x, a) = | x + a|
The absolute distance of (y, b) = | y + b|
So,
The absolute distance between (x, a), and (y, b) = |x + a| + |y + b|
So,
The absolute distance between (-4, 2), and (-4, 5) = | -4 + 2| + |-4 +5|
= |-2| + |1|
= 2 + 1
= 3 units
Hence, from the above,

Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
To find the distance from the school to the playground, we added the absolute values of the y-coordinates

Try It!

Let the coordinates of points be (x, y), and (a, b)
So,
The absolute value of (x, y) is: |x + y|
The absolute value of (a, b) is: |a + b|
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
We will add the absolute values when both the coordinates of the given points are positive
Case 2:
Let the coordinates of points be (x, -y), and (-a, b)
So,
The absolute value of (x, -y) is: |x – y|
The absolute value of (-a, b) is: |b – a|
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
We will subtract the absolute values when any one of the coordinates of the given points are negative

To find the distance between the different x and y-coordinates, subtract the x-coordinates of the 2 points and y-coordinates of the 2 points and add both the values

Question 2.
Reasoning In Example 1, why do you add absolute values to find the distance from A to B but subtract absolute values to find the distance from B to C?
From Example 1,
We know that,
The coordinates of A, B, and C are:
A (-4, 6), B (2, 6), and C (2, 1)
Now,
We know that,
The absolute distance between given points = |x + a| + |y + b|
Now,
When the y-coordinates are the same,
The absolute distance between 2 points = |x + y|
So,
The absolute distance from A and B is positive because the x-coordinates move from left to right (or) vice-versa
When the x-coordinates are the same,
The absolute distance between 2 points = |a – b|
So,
The absolute distance from B and C is negative because the y-coordinates move from top to bottom (or) vice-versa

Question 3.
Construct Arguments Could you add or subtract the absolute values of coordinates to find the length of the diagonal AC of rectangle ABCD in Example 1? Explain.
From Example 1,
We know that,
A (-4, 6), B (2, 6), C (2, 1), and D (-4, 1)
Now,
We know that,
The distance between 2 points = |x + a| + |y + b|
So,
The distance of the diagonal AC of rectangle ABCD is solved by the addition of the absolute values of the coordinates of A and C
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
We add the absolute values of coordinates to find the length of the diagonal AC of rectangle ABCD in Example 1

Now,
Compare the given points with (x, a), and (y, b)
Now,
We know that,
The distance between 2 points = |x + a| + |y + b|
Now,
The disatnce of MN = |-2 + 5| + |-2 – 4|
= |3 + 6|
= 9 units
The distance of NO = |-2 – 4| + |3 – 4|
= |6 – 1|
= 5 units
The distance of OP = |3 – 4| + |3 + 5|
= |1 + 8|
= 9 units
The distance of PM = |3 + 5| + |-2 + 5|
= |8 – 3|
= 5 units
Now,
The perimeter of the rectangle MNOP = MN + NO + OP + PM
= 9 + 5 + 9 + 5
= 28 units
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The perimeter of the given rectangle MNOP is: 28 units

= 5 units
The distance of HE = |3.5 + 1.5|
= 5 units

It is given that
Square ABCD has vertices A(-4.5, 4), B(3.5, 4), C(3.5, -4), and D(-4.5, -4)
Now,
We know that,
The square has the same side lengths
So,
The distance between any 2 points is sufficient to find the area of square ABCD
Now,
We know that,
The area of a square = Side²
Now,
Compare the given points with (x, a), and (y, b)
Now,
We know that,
The distance between 2 points = |x + a| + |y + b|
Now,
The distance of AB =|3.5 + 4.5|
= 8 units
So,
The area of square ABCD = Side²
= 8²
= 64 units²
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The area of square ABCD is: 64 units²

### Topic 2 REVIEW

? Topic Essential Question
What are integers and rational numbers? How are points graphed on a coordinate plane?
An “Integer” can be written as a fraction by giving it a denominator of one. So, any integer is a rational number
“Rational numbers” are those numbers that are integers and can be expressed in the form of $$\frac{x}{y}$$ where both numerator and denominator are integers
To graph or plot points, we use two perpendicular lines called the x-axis and the y-axis. The horizontal number line is the x-axis and the vertical line is the y-axis.  Every point in the coordinate plane is represented by an ordered pair of x and y coordinates.

LESSON 2.4 Represent Rational Numbers on the Coordinate Plane

Quick Review
An ordered pair (x, y) of numbers gives the coordinates that locate a point on a coordinate plane. Coordinates can be whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, or decimals.

Example
Explain how to plot any point with coordinates (x, y).
• Start at the origin, (0, 0).
• Use the x-coordinate to move right (if positive) or left (if negative) along the x-axis.
• Then use the y-coordinate of the point to move up (if positive) or down (if negative) following the y-axis.
• Draw and label the point on the coordinate plane. Explain how to name the location of a point on a coordinate plane. Follow the grid line from the point to the x-axis to name the x-coordinate, and follow the grid line from the point to the y-axis to name the y-coordinate.

LESSONS 2.5 AND 2.6 Find Distances and Represent Polygons on the Coordinate Plane

Quick Review
You can use absolute value to find the distance between two points that share the same X- or y-coordinate. When the y-coordinates are the same, use the x-coordinates to find the distance. When the x-coordinates are the same, use the y-coordinates. If the points are in different quadrants, add their absolute values. If the points are in the same quadrant, subtract their absolute values.
You can use what you know about finding the distance between two points to find the lengths of the sides of a polygon on a coordinate plane.

Example
Find the length of side AB.

The ordered pairs for points A and B are A(-3, 2) and B(-1, 2). The points are in the same quadrant, so subtract the absolute values of the x-coordinates.
|-3| – |-1| = 3 – 1 = 2 units
The length of side AB is 2 units.

Practice

Question 6.
Perimeter of ABCDEF
We know that,
The perimeter of any polygon is the sum of its side lengths
So,
The perimeter of polygon ABCDEF = AB + BC + CD+ DE+ EF+ FA
