It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
Use Pythagoras' Theorem: calculate the square root of ((difference of x-coordinates)2 + (difference of y-coordinates)2).
On a number line does 2 or - 2 represent the absolute value of -2?
A distance is a measurement, and does not change based on which location is the starting point. (Unlike physics where the direction is considered)
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 |
If you have two points on a number line, the formula for distance is:|a-b| (|=absolute value)
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
DISTANCE
Horizontal
x-coordinates :)
Add the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
The distance between (x, y1) and (x, y2) is abs(y1 - y2) or |y1 - y2|.
The distance between them is the absolute value of the difference in their vertical coordinates.

how do you find distance between points
The distance between two points is Square root of [ (difference in their 'x' coordinates)2 + (difference in their 'y' coordinates)2 ]
