    Question

    What is the distance between the following ordered pairs (- 2, 12) and (7, 12)?

    1. 3 units    
    2. 5 units    
    3. 9 units    
    4. 1 unit    

    hintHint:

    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: 9 units

      Step 1: If the y - coordinates are the same, we use the x - 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: ∣ - 2∣ + ∣ 7 ∣ = 2 + 7 = 9
