The distance between the points of (4, 3) and (0, 3) is 4 units
To get the distance between ANY two points on a number line: * Subtract one number from the other * Take the absolute value of the result In symbols: distance(a, b) = | a - b |
The distance is 15, because -6 is 6 spaces away from zero and 9 is 9 spaces away from zero. You add the two distances to find the distance between the two numbers.
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
