Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Use the coordinate planes provided to help you find the distances between points.
1. Plot the points A(2, 3) and B(2, -4) on the coordinate plane below. Then, find the distance between them.
Distance between A and B:
2. The points (5, 1) and (-3, 1) lie on a line because their coordinates are the same. The distance between them is units.
3. The points (-2, 6) and (-2, 0) lie on a line because their coordinates are the same. The distance between them is units.
4. What is the distance between the points (1, 5) and (1, -2)?
3 units
5 units
7 units
8 units
5. A robot starts at position ( -4, -3 ) and moves to position ( 6, -3 ). How far did the robot travel? Show your work.
6. The distance between two points on a coordinate plane can always be found by subtracting the absolute values of their differing coordinates.
True
False
