Follow the instructions for each section. Show all your work when calculating distances.
Part 1: Horizontal and Vertical Distance
Calculate the horizontal or vertical distance between the given points.
1. Find the distance between (2, 5) and (2, -3).
2. What is the distance between (-4, 1) and (6, 1)?
Part 2: Plotting Points and Distance
Plot the given points on the coordinate plane and then find the distance between them.
1. Plot points A(3, 4) and B(-2, 4). What is the distance between A and B?
Part 3: Multiple Choice
Choose the best answer for each question.
1. Which formula is used to find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on a coordinate plane?
d = |x2 - x1|
d = |y2 - y1|
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = (x1 + x2) / 2
2. What is the distance between (0, 0) and (3, 4)?
3 units
4 units
5 units
7 units
Part 4: Short Answer
Answer the following questions, showing your work.
1. A park is located at (1, 2) and a library is located at (7, 10) on a map. If each unit on the map represents 1 kilometer, what is the straight-line distance between the park and the library?
