Question

Because the points have the same x-coordinate, the distance between the two points is a vertical distance. The distance from the ordered pair (−4,−3) to the x-axis is the absolute val
ue of it's y-coordinate. What is the absolute value of the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (−4,−3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from a point to the x axis is the absolute value of its y-coordinate as it mentioned in the problem.

So take the y-coordinate, -3, and find the absolute value by making the number positive. Absolute values are always positive.
