Mid Assessment Distance on a Coordinate Plane

When two points are in the same quadrant and their x-coordinates are the same, to find the distance between the two points,

• subtract the absolute value of their y-coordinates.

• subtract the absolute value of their x-coordinates.

• add the absolute value of their y-coordinates.

• add the absolute value of their x-coordinates.
