Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question, look at the y values. They are 3 and 12. To find the length between those values, subtract and you'll get 9 units.

For the second question, you would subtract the x-coordinates.

* For both of these questions, make sure you know your x and y axes. The y-axis is always vertical and the x-axis is always horizontal.

Answers:

1. 9 units

2. subtract the x-coordinates
