Horizontal and Vertical Distance on Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

The distance is the absolute difference between their y-coordinates.

Front

What is the distance between two points with the same y-coordinate?

Back

The distance is the absolute difference between their x-coordinates.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between points G(4, 1) and H(4, -7)?

Back

|1| + |-7| = 8 units.

Front

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

Back

Distance = |y2 - y1| if x1 = x2 (vertical) or |x2 - x1| if y1 = y2 (horizontal).

Front

What does it mean if two points have the same x-coordinate?

Back

They are vertically aligned on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does it mean if two points have the same y-coordinate?

Back

They are horizontally aligned on the coordinate plane.

Front

Calculate the distance between points G(-7, 6) and H(7, 6).

Back

|-7| + |7| = 14 units.

Front

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 6 units and a width of 4 units?

Back

Area = length × width = 6 × 4 = 24 units squared.

Front

Find the distance between the points (0, 6) and (0, -4).

Back

|6 - (-4)| = |6 + 4| = 10 units.

Front

What is the distance between points (3, -5) and (3, -8)?

Back

3 units; vertical.
