If the co-ordinate of A is x and that of B is y, find d(A, B).

x = -4, y = -5

Solution

It is known that distance between the two points is obtained by subtracting the smaller co-ordinate from the larger co-ordinate.

The coordinates of A and B are x and y respectively.

We have, x = -4 and y = -5.

We know that  -4 > -5.

∴ d (A, B) = -4 - (-5) 

∴ d (A, B) = - 4 + 5 = 1
