Coordinate Plane and Distance Concepts

Mrs. Taylor's math class covers how to find the distance between points on a coordinate plane. The lesson includes examples of calculating vertical and horizontal distances using the same x or y coordinates, respectively. It also demonstrates using absolute values to find distances. The video concludes with a review of the methods discussed.

What is the first step in finding the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

• Calculate the slope

• Plot the points

• Draw a line between the points

• Find the midpoint

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 5) located?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV
