Distance on the Coordinate Plane (Horizontal and Vertical)

Front

What is the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane?

Back

Distance = |y2 - y1| for vertical distance and |x2 - x1| for horizontal distance.

Front

What does the term 'ordered pair' mean?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written as (x, y).

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

Subtract the y-coordinates: Distance = |y2 - y1|.
