Find the distance between point B and the x-axis. 6GA3 Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices. In this lesson you will learn to use absolute value to find distances between points with the same x and y value by using a coordinate plane.
Find the distance between point A and the x-axis.
Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. The y-coordinate of A is 3 so point A is 3 3 units from the x-axis. Find the distance between point B and the x-axis.
