Exercises
Complete the table using the diagram on the coordinate plane. Problem Set
1. Given the pairs of points, determine whether the segment that joins them is horizontal, vertical, or neither.
a. X(3,5) and Y(-2,5)
b. M(-4,9) and N(4,-9)
c. E(-7,1) and F(-7,4)
2. Complete the table using absolute value to determine the lengths of the line segments
Points: (-3,5), (7,5)
Points: (1,-3), (-6,-3)
Points: (2,-9), (2,-3)
Points: (6,1), (6,16)
Points: (-3,0), (-3,12)
