Calculating Horizontal Distance Between Points on a Coordinate Plane

In this video, we show how to calculate the horizontal distance between two points, C(-4, -2) and D(5, -2), on a coordinate plane. Since the points share the same y-coordinate, we use the x-coordinates to determine the distance. By calculating the absolute value of the difference between the x-values, we find that the distance between points C and D is 9 units. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.8, focusing on solving real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and finding distances on the coordinate plane. Perfect for students learning to calculate distances between horizontally aligned points!
