Finding vertical and horizontal distance

Front

What is the formula to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the distance between the points (0, 6) and (0, -4)?

Back

The distance is 10 units.

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does 'x' represent?

Back

'x' represents the horizontal coordinate.

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does 'y' represent?

Back

'y' represents the vertical coordinate.

Front

How do you find the vertical distance between two points?

Back

The vertical distance is found by taking the absolute difference of their y-coordinates.

Front

How do you find the horizontal distance between two points?

Back

The horizontal distance is found by taking the absolute difference of their x-coordinates.

Front

What is the distance between the points (3, 4) and (3, 1)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 2) and (5, 2)?

Back

The distance is 3 units.

Front

If the distance between two points is 6 units, what could be one possible pair of points?

Back

One possible pair of points could be (0, 0) and (6, 0).

Front

What is the significance of the distance formula in geometry?

Back

The distance formula is used to determine the length of a line segment between two points in a coordinate plane.
