Exploring Distance with Coordinate Planes

The video tutorial explains how to find the distance between points in a coordinate plane, similar to finding distance on a number line. It emphasizes that distance is always positive and can be determined by plotting ordered pairs and counting the jumps between them. The tutorial provides several examples, demonstrating how to plot points and calculate distances. It also introduces a method of finding distance by eliminating common numbers in ordered pairs and using a number line to measure the distance between the remaining numbers.
