Giving brainliest please help 1. Determine whether the points (-5,8) and (-5,-4) lie on the same horizontal or vertical line. Explain how you know. Then, find the length of the line segment that connects them.

2. Skye’s city is on a grid like the coordinate plane. He unicycles from point (11,15) to point (11, -12). How many units does he travel? Explain how you found your answer using absolute value.

plz help

1. Well since (-5,8) and (-5,-4) are on the same x axis line they are both on the same horizontal line. You can draw a graph with both points going throughthe same horizontal line.

2. Skye traveled 27 units.

15-(-12)=27

Since they are both on the same x line we dont have to do any fancy math just focus on the y points. Remember to subtract the bigger number by the smaller number.

1.

Points (-5, 8) and (-5, -4) are on the same vertical line. This is because both points have the same x-coordinate (-5). If one were to draw a line between these two points, then the line would be vertical.

2.

Skye travels 27 units. Since points (11, 15) and (11, -12) are on the same vertical line but in different quadrants, all one has to do is add the absolute value of the numbers to find the distance between them. One knows that these numbers are on the same line because they have the same x-coordinate. These points are in different quadrants because the y-coordinate values (in the sense of negative or positive) are different. Therefore, to find the distance traveled, one must do;

|15| + |-12|

Since the absolute value is the distance from zero, one can say that the expression equals,

15 + 12

= 27
