Question
The distance between the points A (0 ,6) and B (0, - 2) is _____
6 units
4 units
8 units
16 units
Hint:
Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. Absolute value is the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign. Also called modulus
The correct answer is: 8 units
Step 1: If the x-coordinates are the same, we use the y - coordinates to find the distance. Step 2: Add absolute values of the coordinates to find the distance between the points since they lie in different quadrants. Step 3: ∣ 6 ∣ + ∣ - 2∣ = 6 + 2 = 8
