Distance Between

Two Points
PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY
 Distance Between Two Points
-The distance between two points is always
nonnegative.
- The horizontal distance between two points is
the absolute value of the difference of their x-
coordinates.
- The vertical distance between two points is
the absolute value of the difference of their y-
coordinates.
