Graphing and Solving Mathematical Problems on a Coordinate Plane

This lesson teaches how to graph and solve mathematical problems using the coordinate plane. It covers finding distances between points using absolute value, common mistakes in plotting ordered pairs, and calculating the length and width of rectangles on the coordinate plane. The lesson includes examples to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing that distance is always positive.

What is the distance between points F and G on the coordinate plane?

What mistake do people commonly make when finding an ordered pair?

How do you find the length of side AB in rectangle A, B, C, and D?

How do you calculate the width of the rectangle using points B and C?

What is the absolute value of the difference between the y values of points (-2,4) and (-2,-6)?
