6th Grade Math 14.1b, Finding Distances in the Coordinate Plane Using Absolute Values

We learned in video 3.2b, that the absolute value of a number is that number's distance from zero on a number line. Absolute values are always positive numbers because they are distances, and distances are always positive numbers. We use absolute values to find distances between two points that have the same x-coordinate. We use absolute value to find distances between two points that have the same y-coordinate. If the x-coordinates are the same, we use the y-coordinates to find the distance. If the y-coordinates are the same, we use the x-coordinates to find the distance. When two points are on opposite sides of an axis, in an adjacent quadrant, we add to find the sum of their absolute values for the distance between them. When two points are in the same quadrant, we subtract to find the difference of their absolute values for the distance between them.
