Question

What is the distance between the following ordered pairs (6, 3) and (- 5, 3)?

  1. 17 units    
  2. 19 units    
  3. 11 units    
  4. 12 units    

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: 11 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: ∣ 6 ∣ + ∣ - 5∣ = 6 + 5 = 11
