Question
What is the distance between points (5, 5) and (1, 5) on a coordinate plane?
- 4
4
10
- 10
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: 4
Step 1: If the y - coordinates are the same, we use the x-coordinates to find the distance. Step 2: Subtract absolute values of the coordinates to find the distance between the points since they lie in the same quadrants. Step 3: ∣5∣ - ∣1∣ = 5 – 1 = 4
