Same Quadrant? Subtract!

  • We can find the distance between points that lie in the same quadrant, like the Ferris Wheel and the Rollercoaster, using subtraction.

  • The Rollercoaster is at (5, 2)

  • The Ferris Wheel is at (5, 6)

  • |6| - |2| = 6 - 2 = 4

  • The Ferris Wheel and Rollercoaster are 4 spaces apart.

Different Quadrant? Add!

  • We can find the distance between points that lie in the different quadrants, like the Restrooms and the Water Slide, using addition.

  • The Restrooms are at ( 4 , -4 )

  • The Water Slide is at ( -3 , -4 )

  • |4| + |-3| = 4 + 3 = 7

  • The restrooms and water slide are 7 spaces apart.
