(3, 4)

(x, y)

1. ​Start at the origin (0,0)

2. Move 3 units to the right

3. Move 4 units up

​(-5, 2)

(x, y)

1. Start at the origin (0,0)

2. Move 5 units to the left

3. Move 2 units up

Yes, you can just count.

Most times, you will count correctly. But here is a second way. Yes, it is simple.

Same quadrants, change coordinates to absolute value then find the difference. Different quandrants change the coordinates to absolute value then find the sum.

What is the distance between A (5,-2) and B(5,4)? Different Quadrants

• Determine which coordinate is the same (x or y) and cross it out.

• Circle the number that is different in both coordinate pairs.

• Find the absolute value of each number (write an expression) |-2| |4|

• Find the sum. |-2| +|4|

• Distance=6

What is the distance between B(5,4) and C (8,4)? Same Quadrants

• Determine which coordinate is the same (x or y) and cross it out.

• Circle the number that is different in both coordinate pairs.

• Find the absolute value of each number (write an expression) |8| |5|

• Find the difference. |8|-|5|

• Distance=3
