Review of the Coordinate Plane
This lecture series reviews the basic concepts related to graphing points on the Cartesian coordinate plane and associated terminology.
Distance between points: vertical or horizontal - Question
Answers
1. 9 units.
Let's plot the two points.
Now, let's find the distance between the points.
The distance between the points is 9 units.
2.
The coordinates of point are . Each new point must have an -coordinate of .
First let's plot the point that has an increase of in the -coordinate.
Now let's plot the point that has a decrease of in the -coordinate.
The two points that are units from point and also share the same -coordinate as are shown in the graph.
Now, let's see what is units from point .
4. 5 units.
First let's plot the two points.
Now, let's find the distance between the points.
The distance from point to point is 5 units.
5. 5 units.
Let's plot the two points.
Now, let's find the distance between the points.
The distance between the points is 5 units.
6.
