How do you determine if two points on a horizontal line lie in the same or different quadrants?
How do you determine if two points on a horizontal line lie in the same or different quadrants?
You can determine the quadrant by looking at the signs of the x-coordinates. If both x-coordinates are positive or both are negative, the points lie in the same quadrant; otherwise, they lie in different quadrants.

Study Notes
Finding Distance Between Points
-
Horizontal Line: Points have the same y-coordinate.
- To find the distance, use the absolute values of the x-coordinates.
- If points are in the same quadrant, subtract the absolute values.
- If points are in different quadrants, add the absolute values.
-
Vertical Line: Points have the same x-coordinate.
- To find the distance, use the absolute values of the y-coordinates.
- If points are in the same quadrant, subtract the absolute values.
- If points are in different quadrants, add the absolute values.
Distance Formula
- For points not on a horizontal or vertical line, use the distance formula:
- Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
- Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of the two points.
- Important Note: Understand and apply the order of operations, especially when dealing with negative coordinates. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.
