It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
Horizontal
The absolute difference in the vertical direction is zero but the absolute difference in the horizontal direction will be the horizontal distance - which is the distance between the points.
The distance between (x, y1) and (x, y2) is abs(y1 - y2) or |y1 - y2|.
Vertical.
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
distance
On a number line does 2 or - 2 represent the absolute value of -2?
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
The distance between them is the absolute value of the difference in their vertical coordinates.
The Minkowsky or Taxicab distances.
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.
The distance between two points on a line is the absolute value of the difference between their coordinates. This can be calculated using the distance formula: |x2 - x1|, where x1 and x2 are the coordinates of the two points.
Horizontal
x-coordinates :)
The absolute value of the difference of their coordinate (if it is in one dimension).
