Calculating Distance on the Coordinate Plane

What is the main focus of this tutorial video?

• Understanding the concept of quadrants

• Finding the distance between two diagonal points on a coordinate plane

• Learning the distance formula

• Finding distances on a coordinate plane without plotting points

How can you find the distance between points with the same y-coordinates?

• By subtracting the absolute values of the y-coordinates

• By counting the number of squares between them

• By adding the absolute values of the x-coordinates

• By using the distance formula

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

• 3 units

• 6 units

• 4 units

• 5 units

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

• By adding the absolute values of the y-coordinates

• By subtracting the absolute values of the x-coordinates

• By using the distance formula

• By counting the number of squares between them

What is the distance between the points (-3, 4) and (-3, -3)?

• 8 units

• 7 units

• 6 units

• 5 units

When should you add the absolute values of coordinates?

• When the x-coordinates are the same

• When the y-coordinates are the same

• When the points are in different quadrants

• When the points are in the same quadrant

What is the correct distance between the points (1, -3) and (4, -3)?

• 5 units

• 1 unit

• 2 units

• 3 units

Why do distances overlap when points are in the same quadrant?

• Because their distances from the same axis overlap

• Because they are closer to the origin

• Because they have the same coordinates

• Because they are on the same line

What should you do if the points fall in different quadrants?

• Count the number of squares between them

• Use the distance formula

• Add the absolute values of the coordinates

• Subtract the absolute values of the coordinates

What tool can help you remember when to add or subtract absolute values?

• A calculator

• A graph

• A flow chart

• A ruler
