Finding the Distance between Two Points on a Coordinate Grid

This lesson teaches how to find the distance between two points on a coordinate grid using ordered pairs. It covers the basics of coordinate grids, ordered pairs, and the importance of x and y values. The lesson explains how to calculate distances between points in the same quadrant and different quadrants, using examples and number lines for clarity.
