Well, they are both have the same y values, so it would be the difference of their x coordinates. This would be 4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6.
The distance is 6.

In this instance, you can subtract the x- coordinates, because the y-coordinates are the same.Thus it is the abs. of 4--2, or abs of 6, which is 6.
Therefore the distance between A and B is 6

The Y points are both -7, so you have a horizontal line from 4 to -2 and the lenght of that line would be 6

OK!
In cartesian (X-Y) coordinates, this is just a right triangle problem:
x-distance^2 + y-distance^2 = shortest distance^2
[4-(-2)]^2 + [-7-(-7)]^2 = shortest distance^2
6^2 -0 = shortest distance^2
distance= 6

ths distance between two points A and B :
d = sqrt[ (xa - xb)^2 + (ya - yb)^2 ]
= sqrt [ (4 + 2)^2 + (-7 + 7)^2 ] = 6

Jerry, what?
AB = 4--2 = 6
