Question
If the co-ordinate of A is x and that of B is y, find d(A, B).
x = 6, y = - 2

Solution
It is known that the 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 = 6 and y = −2.
We know that 6 > −2.
∴ d(A, B) = 6 − (−2)
∴ d (A, B) = 6 + 2
∴ d (A, B) = 8
