Find the Distance Between Two Ordered Pairs With the Same X Coordinate

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

• |3| - |-3| = 0

• |3| + |3| = 6

• |-5| + |-3| = 8

• |-5| - |-3| = 2

When finding the distance between 2 points first you have to look at both ordered pairs and determine which coordinate they ________.

• share

• oppose

When finding the distance between 2 points you will IGNORE/cross out the coordinate they SHARE and you will be using the ______________ of the different coordinates.

• opposite

• absolute value

• inverse

Find the length of a line segments with the following endpoints.

(2,9)

(5,9)

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

• -3

• 3

• -7

• 7

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

• 1 unit; horizontal

• 2 units; vertical

• 3 units; vertical

• 3 units; horizontal

Find the distance between the points.

(–6,–10), (–2,–10)

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

• 8

• 4

• 6

• 10

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

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

• |2| + |-2| = 4

• |4| - |2| = 2

• |4| + |-2| = 6

• |4| + |-2| = 2
