Answer: Hi!

The distance between the coordinates (4,2) and (0,2) is 4 units.

The coordinates have the same location on the y axis, but the coordinates have different locations on the x axis. (4,2) is 4 units to the right of the x axis and 2 up on the y axis, while (0,2) goes just straight up to 2 on the y axis. If we graphed these, the two points would be aligned with each other, but a distance of 4 units would separate them horizontally.

Hope this helps!
