Distance on the coordinate plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by pairs of numbers (x, y).

Front

What are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position, while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

Use the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

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

Back

The distance is 3 units.

Front

What is the distance between the points (0, 6) and (0, -4)?

Back

The distance is 10 units.

Front

What is the length of the longest side of a rectangle with coordinates (3, 2), (-2, 2), (-2, -1), (3, -1)?

Back

The length of the longest side is 5 units.

Front

What is the distance between the points (5, 5) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 4 units.

Front

What does it mean if two points have the same x-coordinate?

Back

It means the points are vertically aligned on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does it mean if two points have the same y-coordinate?

Back

It means the points are horizontally aligned on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you determine the vertical distance between two points?

Back

Subtract the y-coordinates of the points.
