Distance and Area on the Coordinate Plane

What is the rule for finding the distance between two points on the coordinate plane if the two points are in the SAME quadrant?

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are the SAME and SUBTRACT them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are the SAME and ADD them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are DIFFERENT and SUBTRACT them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are DIFFERENT and ADD them.

What is the rule for finding the distance between two points on the coordinate plane if the two points are in DIFFERENT quadrants?

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are the SAME and SUBTRACT them.

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

• |2| + |-2| = 4

• |4| - |2| = 2

• |4| + |-2| = 6

• |4| + |-2| = 2

What is the distance between points A(-1, 2) and B(3, 2)?

• |3| - |-1| = 2

• |3| + |-1| = 4

• |2| + |2| = 4

• |2| - |2| = 0

What is the distance between points C(3, -3) and D(3, -5)?

• |3| - |-3| = 0

• |3| + |3| = 6

• |-5| + |-3| = 8
