Question

If point A is located at (-6, 3) on a coordinate plane, and point B is located at (-6, 0), what is the distance between the two points? *If point A is located at (-6, 3) on a coordinate plane, and point B is located at (-6, 0), what is the distance between the two points? *

Answer 1

Explanation:

3

Answer 2

|AB|=3

Explanation:

The point A is located at (-6, 3) on a coordinate plane, and point B is located at (-6, 0).

We can see that the two points are on the same vertical line.

We can use the absolute value method to find the distance between point A and B.

With this method since the x-coordinates are equal the distance between the two points is the absolute value of the difference in the y-coordinates.

|AB|=|0-3|=3
