The absolute value of the difference of their coordinate (if it is in one dimension).
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
It is the distance between the end points
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.

Add the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value

Distance is measured using reference points therefore distance, between objects, is relative. Some of the units used can be absolute, the separation between two or more points cannot.

Subtract the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the y-value would be zero, and the distance the square root of its own square.
The absolute value of the difference.
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
