Horizontal and Vertical Distance on Coordinate Plane

What is the distance between points C(3, -3) and D(3, -5)?

• |3| - |-3| = 0

• |3| + |3| = 6

• |-5| + |-3| = 8

• |-5| - |-3| = 2

In the coordinate plane, what is the distance between (-3, 5) and (-3, -8)?

• 3 units

• 6 units

• 8 units

• 13 units

Choose the expression that represents the distance between the two points

Hint: If the line segment is vertical: Add the absolute values

• |2| + (-4)

• |2| - |-4|

• |2| + |-4|

Find the length of a line segments with the following endpoints.

• -3

• 3

• -7

• 7

What is the distance between points (3, -5) and (3, -8)? Is the line vertical or horizontal?

• 1 unit; horizontal

• 2 units; vertical

• 3 units; vertical

• 3 units; horizontal

What is the perimeter of the shape?

• 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 20 units

• 4 + 6 = 10 units

• not enough information

• 10 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 22 units

What is the area of the shape?

• 35 units squared

• 24 units squared

• not enough information

• 22 units squared

What is the rule for finding the distance between two points on the coordinate plane if the two points are in the SAME quadrant?

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are the SAME and SUBTRACT them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are the SAME and ADD them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are DIFFERENT and SUBTRACT them.

• Find the absolute value of the coordinate that are DIFFERENT and ADD them.
