1. Distance and the coordinate plane
6.NS.8

2. Examples: (1,3) and (1,6) (4,6) and (9,6)
In order to find the distance between two points they need to have the SAME X or SAME Y coordinate.
Examples:
(1,3) and (1,6)
(4,6) and (9,6)
Same X value
Same Y value

3. How to find the distance between points in the same quadrant?
When points are located in the same quadrant :
Ignore the coordinate that they have in common
Subtract to find the distance
What is the distance between the two points?
(1,3) and (1,6)
(4,6) and (9,6)

4. How to find the distance between points in different quadrants?
When points are located in different quadrants we can add their absolute values together to find the total distance.

5. Point M and Point P are in different quadrants
Step 1: Ignore the coordinate they have in common
Step 2: Find the absolute value of each coordinate.
Step 3: Add the absolute values together.

6. I DO: What is the distance between points B & C?
|-3| = 3
|2| = 2
3 + 2 = 5
WE DO: What is the distance between points D & B?
|-5| = 5
|2| = 2
5 + 2 = 7
YOU DO: What is the distance between points D & E?

7. Find the distance between the points
(-3,4) and (2,4)
(8,1) and (4,1)
(-3,-2) and (-5, -2)
(4,8) and (4, -10)

8. Finding the Perimeter of Shapes on a graph
To find the perimeter
Step 1: Plot all four given points
Step 2: Find the distance between each point
Step 3: Add the distances together
