    Question

    What is the distance between the following ordered pairs (2, 6) and (5, 6)?

    1. 3 units    
    2. 6 units    
    3. 2 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: 3 units

      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∣ - ∣2∣ = 5 – 2 = 3
