What is the standard equation for finding range?

What sort of range-distance of an object, range of a plane, range of possible values, are all possible.


Does it matter which way you subtract the values when finding distance when subtracting negative numbers?

The RULES for subtraction do not depend on the signs of the numbers. A - B means the value of A (+ or -) minus the value of B(+ or -). So if A is -1 and B is -2 you have (-1) - (-2). Subtracting a minus is a plus (like taking away a debt). So: (-1)+2 or -1+2 = 1. Think of positives as dollars in your hand, and minuses as bills in your hand you have to pay. If someone takes away a bill, you are better off. Similarly for distances. So it does matter - you must do it properly.


What do you do when subtracting a positive and a negative?

If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.


How do you find the rise over run?

Rise over run, or slope, is found by dividing the difference of both outputs by the difference of both inputs. The equation would look something like this (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) Basically, your Y point values are always subtracted in the numerator and divided by you X point values which are subtracted in the denominator. The order in which you subtract DOES matter. If you subtract Y1 from Y2 you must then subtract X1 from X2 and vice versa.
