DISTANCE
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
The distance between (x, y1) and (x, y2) is abs(y1 - y2) or |y1 - y2|.

To find the distance between two points on a segment, you subtract their coordinates and take the absolute value of the result. This gives you the length of the segment between the two points. For example, for points ( A(x_1, y_1) ) and ( B(x_2, y_2) ), the distance in one dimension would be ( |x_2 - x_1| ) for the x-coordinates, or ( |y_2 - y_1| ) for the y-coordinates. In two dimensions, you would use the distance formula, which incorporates both coordinates.
If a segment is vertical, it means that the x-coordinates of both endpoints are the same. To find the distance between the two points, you subtract the y-coordinates of the endpoints and take the absolute value of the result. This gives you the vertical distance between the two points. The formula can be expressed as ( \text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1| ).
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.
DISTANCE
Subtracting the y-coordinates of two points gives you the vertical distance between them, which represents the length of the vertical segment. This is because the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on a Cartesian plane. The formula for the length of the vertical segment is |y2 - y1|, where y1 and y2 are the y-coordinates of the two points. The absolute value ensures that the distance is always a positive value, regardless of the order of the points.
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
