Question

What is the difference between the points (8, 10) and (8, 4) on coordinate plane

Answer 1

6 units

Explanation:

(8, 10 ) → (8, 4 )

since the x- coordinates of each point are the same, both 8

then this is a vertical straight line

the difference is then the absolute value of the difference in the y- coordinates, that is

| 10 - 4 | = | 6 | = 6

or

| 4 - 10 | = | - 6 | = | 6 | = 6
