How to Calculate Vertical Distance Between Points on a Coordinate Plane

In this video, we demonstrate how to calculate the vertical distance between two points, A(3, 2) and B(3, -5), on a coordinate plane. Since the points share the same x-coordinate, we use the y-coordinates to find the distance. By calculating the absolute value of the difference between the y-values, we find that the distance between points A and B is 7 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 vertically aligned points!
