Vertical

Question 14

What is the distance between the following ordered pairs: (5, 6) and (5, 8)

Hint: The points lie in the SAME quadrant, so we SUBTRACT the absolute values

Accepted Answer

2 units because |8| - |6| = 2

Answer

3 units because |8|-|5| = 3

Answer

1 units because |6| - |5| = 1

Answer

5 units because the x value is 5.

-3

Answer

-7

Answer

7

Question 16

What is the distance between points (3, -5) and (3, -8)? Is the line vertical or horizontal?

Hint: The points lie in the SAME quadrant, so we SUBTRACT the absolute values

Accepted Answer

9 units

Answer

4 units

Answer

3 units

Question 18

The distance between A(2, 4) and C(2, -2)?

Hint: The points are in ANOTHER Quadrant, so we ADD the absolute values.

Accepted Answer

|4| + |-2| = 6

Answer

|2| + |-2| = 4

Answer

|4| - |2| = 2

Answer

|4| + |-2| = 2

Question 19
