Question: what is the formula for finding the vertical distance between two points on a coordinate plane?
Answer: Find the distance along the y-axis. For the example points (3,2) and (7,8), in which (3,2) is Point 1 and (7,8) is Point 2: (y2 - y1) = 8 - 2 = 6. This means that there are six units of distance on the y-axis between these two points. Find the distance along the x-axis.
