Using Absolute Value to Find the Distance Between Points on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial teaches how to calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane using absolute values. It covers examples with points sharing either x or y values and highlights common mistakes in plotting points. The lesson emphasizes that distance is always positive and demonstrates calculations for various point pairs, including A to B, C to D, C to E, and F to G.

What is the absolute value of the difference between the x values of points A and B?

Describe the process of finding the distance between points C and E (C: -3, y; E: 3, y).

Calculate the distance between points F (-8, -4) and G (3, -4).
