Yes, Two perpendicular lines
Write the equation out: (total cost: 0.35C[per carton] + 75[delivery charge]) ≤ 500. Subtract 75 on both sides and it would be: 0.35C ≤ 425. Divide 0.35 on both sides and you'll get C ≤ 1214. Therefore, the maximum # of cartons that Elvira can buy is 1214 cartons of milk.

Answer: 3 units</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
The y coordinates are identical, so we just need to focus on the x coordinates.
Going from 0 to -3 is a distance of 3 units. Drawing out a number line might help.
Or we could apply subtraction and absolute value
|x1-x2| = |0-(-3)| = |0+3| = |3| = 3
which is the same as
|x2-x1| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3
The absolute value is to ensure the result is never negative. Distance is never negative.
Side note: if the y coordinates weren't the same, then we'd have to use either the pythagorean theorem or the distance formula.
