Distance on the Coordinate Plane (6th Grade)

Front

What is the distance formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on the coordinate plane?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

Use the absolute value of the difference in their y-coordinates.

Front

What is the distance between the points A(2, 3) and B(2, 8)?

Back

5 (|8 - 3| = 5)

Front

What is the distance between the points C(-4, 5) and E(-4,-1)?

Back

6 (|5 - (-1)| = 6)

Front

What is the distance between the points D(1, 2) and F(1, -3)?

Back

5 (|2 - (-3)| = 5)

Front

What is the distance between the points G(0, 0) and H(3, 4)?

Back

5 (√((3 - 0)² + (4 - 0)²) = 5)

Front

What is the distance between the points I(-1, -1) and J(2, 2)?

Back

√((2 - (-1))² + (2 - (-1))²) = √18 = 3√2

Front

What is the distance between the points K(3, 5) and L(3, 5)?

Back

0 (same point, distance is 0)

Front

What is the distance between the points M(4, 1) and N(4, 7)?

Back

6 (|1 - 7| = 6)

Front

What is the distance between the points O(-2, 3) and P(1, 3)?

Back

3 (|-2 - 1| = 3)
