Chang used a coordinate plane to show where his posters are displayed on his bedroom wall. Three posters are located at E(5, 3),
F(–4, 3), and G(–4, 5). Use absolute values of coordinates to find the distances between points E and F, and between points G and F. Enter your answers in the boxes. EF = units GF = units
For EF, we want to find the distance between their c coordinates, since their y coordinates are the same. We want the distance between -4 and 5, which when you add their distance from 0, is 9.
For GF, they share the same x coordinate, so you're finding the distance between their y coordinates, which are 3 and 5. The distance between the two is 2, so the length of GF is 2.
