Finding Distances Between Points on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial teaches how to find distances between points on a map using a coordinate plane. It covers plotting points with ordered pairs, using cardinal directions for navigation, and calculating distances by counting blocks. The lesson includes practical examples to reinforce the concepts.

What is the correct order for plotting a point on a coordinate plane?

• Y-axis first, then X-axis

• X-axis first, then Y-axis

• Plot both axes simultaneously

• It doesn't matter which axis is plotted first

If a point is located at (3, 5), what does the '3' represent?

• The distance on the Y-axis

• The distance on the X-axis

• The total distance from the origin

• The distance on both axes

Which phrase can help you remember the cardinal directions in order?

• Always eat sweet waffles

• Always eat sour waffles

• Never eat salty waffles

• Never eat soggy waffles

How many blocks must you travel east to align with the playground from the school?

• Four blocks

• Two blocks

• Three blocks

• Five blocks

What is the total distance in blocks from the school to the metro?

• Nine blocks

• Eight blocks

• Ten blocks

• Seven blocks
