Remember: Same side of zero, subtract. Opposite sides of zero, add. A distance is never negative.

1
P and Q have the same second number. How far apart are P and Q?
2
P and Q have the same first number. How far apart are they?
3
P is at (−1, 5) and Q is at (−7, 5). How far apart are they?
6 units8 units−6 units4 units
4
P and Q are on opposite sides of the y-axis. How far apart are they?
Same side, or opposite sides?
5

On a map each square is 1 block. The school S and the pool W are on one street. How many blocks is it from S to W?
Think it through
9
Point R is at (−3, 2). Point S is straight below R, 6 units away. What is the second number of S?
10
P is at (−6, −2) and Q is at (4, −2). Which sum or difference gives how far apart they are?
6 − 46 + 44 − 66 × 4
11
A is at (5, 4). B is in the same row, 11 units away, and to the left of the y-axis. What is the first number of B?
12
Number the steps to find how far apart (−4, 2) and (3, 2) are.
They are on opposite sides, so add: 4 + 3
Check that the second numbers match, so the points are on one flat line
See where each first number is: −4 is left of zero and 3 is right of zero
Write the distance, 7 units
13
P is at (−2, −7) and Q is at (−2, −1). Write how you find how far apart they are.
