It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
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 between the points of (4, 3) and (0, 3) is 4 units
(3-1)2 + (5-8)2 = 13 and the square root of this is the distance between the points
Points: (-6, 1) and (-2, -2) Distance: 5 units
