Distances in the Coordinate Plane Using Absolute Values

📏 The video explains how to find distances in the coordinate plane using absolute values.

🔢 Integers and their opposites on a number line are discussed, emphasizing that opposites are the same distance from zero but on different sides.

➖➕ The concept of absolute value is introduced as the distance of a number from zero on a number line, always resulting in a positive value.

📐 Absolute values can be used to find distances between two points with the same x coordinate.

🔢 The vertical difference between point A and the x-axis is 4 units, while the vertical difference between point B and the x-axis is -1 unit.

➕ The sum of the distances from point A to the x-axis and point B to the x-axis gives the distance between point A and point B.

📏 The distance between two points on the coordinate plane can be found by adding their absolute values.

🧮 Absolute values can also be used to find distances between points with the same y-coordinate.

🔢 Understanding how to add absolute values helps in calculating distances accurately.

📏 The distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be found by subtracting their horizontal values.

📍 The absolute value of a negative number represents the distance from zero.

🔢 Subtraction is used when the points are on the same side of the y-axis.

🔑 When two points are on opposite sides of an axis, we add their absolute values to find the distance between them.

🔑 When two points are in the same quadrant, we subtract their absolute values to find the distance between them.

🔑 If the x-coordinates are the same, we use the y-coordinates to find the distance, and if the y-coordinates are the same, we use the x-coordinates to find the distance.

🔍 The video discusses how to find distances in the coordinate plane using absolute values.

➖ To find the distance in the x-coordinates, subtract the values.

➕ To find the distance in the y-coordinates, add the values.
