Some friends plotted the locations of their house on a map. brianna's house is at (1,6), jordan's house is at (5,3). what is one possible path from brianna's house to jordan's house?

They can go over to the right (on x axis) 4 units, and up (on y axis) 3 units,
or go through the map (aka graph) you can do pythagorean theorem.
 a² + b² = c²
4²+ 3²=c²
16+9=c²
25=c²
√25= c
5=c
 
Hope that helps.
