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.

Find the distance between these two points using subtraction.
( 3 , 6 ) and ( 3 , 11 )
Make sure to subtract their ABSOLUTE VALUES.

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.
