Question

What is the vertical distance from the origin to the point (8, 1)?

Answer 1

The vertical distance is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates are structured as ( x , y )

The "x" is horizontal and the "y" is vertical, when placed onto a graph.

In the question, 8 is "x" and 1 is "y". Meaning the vertical number is 1.
