1Distance on the Coordinate Plane
2The Structural Procedure
  1. Same quadrant / Same sign: Subtract absolute values of differing coordinates
  2. Different quadrants / Opposite signs: Add absolute values of differing coordinates
  3. Distance represents length, so it is always positive
3Mathematical Word Bank
  • Distance on the Coordinate Plane (Distancia en el plano de coordenadas) — The positive space between points, found from the absolute difference of coordinates on a horizontal or vertical line.
  • Distance (Distancia) — How far apart two points are. It is never negative.
  • Absolute value (Valor absoluto) — How far a number is from zero. It is never negative.
  • Horizontal distance (Distancia horizontal) — How far apart two points are going left or right.
  • Vertical distance (Distancia vertical) — How far apart two points are going up or down.
  • Coordinate plane (Plano cartesiano) — A grid with a line going across and a line going up to plot points.
4Watch out
  • A common mistake in Distance on the Coordinate Plane is subtracting the coordinates as if both points were on the same side of zero, instead of adding their absolute values when the points are on opposite sides. For example, to find the distance between (-6, 3) and (2, 3), a student might subtract 6 − 2 = 4, but since -6 and 2 are on opposite sides of zero, the absolute values must be added instead: |-6| + |2| = 6 + 2 = 8. The correct distance is 8 units, not 4. Before you submit, ask: 'Are these two points on opposite sides of zero — and if so, did I add the absolute values instead of subtracting?'
