Can somebody help

1. What is the formula for finding the vertical distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

Vertical Distance =
`y_(2)-y_(1)`

Explanation:

Here we are asked about the formula for vertical distance between two coordinates.

Suppose there are two coordinates

`(x_(1),y_(1))  ; (x_(2),y_(2))`

Vertical distance between two coordinates is the distance between the y coordinates of the two coordinates.

This can be find out with the formula

`D_(y)=y_(2)-y_(1)`

For example:

Let two coordinates are (2,4) and (5,2)

Here the vertical distance can be find by using above formula as

`D_(y)`=4-2

`D_(y)`=2 units.
