Distance Between Points in Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to find the distance between two points located in the same quadrant. It begins by identifying the coordinates of the points and emphasizes the importance of recognizing which coordinate remains constant. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the distance using absolute values and subtraction. Additionally, it shows how to determine the distance graphically by counting spaces between points. The video concludes with a recap of the methods discussed.

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located 3 units over and 6 units up?

• (6, 3)

• (3, 6)

• (3, -6)

• (-3, 6)

If point B is 9 units over and 6 units up, what are its coordinates?

• (9, 6)

• (-9, 6)

• (6, 9)

• (9, -6)

When finding the distance between two points in the same quadrant, which coordinate should you focus on if the y-values are the same?
