Question

What is the distance between (0, −3), (0, −8) and justify that the distance between two points on Y-axis is |y2 − y1|.

Answer 1

Hi ,

**************************************
We know that ,

distance between two points ( x , y1 )

and ( x , y2 ) = | y2 - y1 |

*****************************************

Now ,

distance between ( 0 , -3 ) , ( 0 , -8 )

= | ( -8 ) - ( - 3 ) |

= | - 8 + 3 |

= | - 5 |

= - ( -5 )

= 5

Since | x | = - x if x < 0 .

I hope this helps you.
