What is the distance from A to B?
A B
Answer:
9units
REMEMBER
:
A SIMPLE WAY to calculate the distance
between numbers on a number line is
to count every number between them.
A FASTER WAY is to find the distance
by taking the absolute value of the
difference of those numbers.

Distance Formula
The Distance
Formula
is an equation that can be used to
find the distance between any pair
of points on the coordinate plane.
The distance formula is
LEVEL 1 Example 1:
The Philippines is known
for more than 7,107
islands. Many tourists
love traveling by boat
from island to island, or
island hopping. Find the
shortest distance
between the two given
islands on the map.
LEVEL 2 Example 2:
Find all points (4, y) that are 10 units from the point (-
2, -1). (4, y) and (-2, -1) ; d = 10
Let and = (-2, -1)
𝟐
(𝟏𝟎) =( √ 𝒚 +𝟐 𝒚 +𝟑𝟕)
𝟐 𝟐
d=
𝟏𝟎=√ ( −𝟐−𝟒 ) +(−𝟏− 𝒚 )
𝟐
𝟐 𝟐 𝟏𝟎𝟎=𝒚 +𝟐 𝒚 +𝟑 𝟕
0=
0 = (y+9)(y-7)
𝟏𝟎=√ 𝟑𝟔+(𝒚¿¿𝟐+𝟐𝒚+𝟏)¿ This means that y = -9 or y = 7.
Therefore, the two points are
𝟏𝟎=√ 𝒚 +𝟐 𝒚 +𝟑𝟕

LEVEL 1
1) On the coordinate plane
below, a map is drawn
showing the different
health centers of
Koronadal City. Each unit is
equivalent to 4 kilometers
on the coordinate plane. If
the coordinate of Zone 4
Health Center is (2, 6) and
Saravia Health Center is
(10, 8). What is the
shortest distance between
these two health centers?
LEVEL 2
Find the two points of the form
(x, -4) that have the same distance
of 10 units from the point (3, 2).
