Question -

Find the distance between P (x1, y1) and Q (x2, y2) when: (i) PQ is parallel to the y-axis, (ii) PQ is parallel to the x-axis.



Answer -

Given:

Points P (x1,y1) and Q(x2, y2)

(i) WhenPQ is parallel to y axis then x1 = x2

So, the distance between P and Q is given by

= |y2 –y1|

(ii) WhenPQ is parallel to the x-axis then y1 = y2

So, the distance between P and Q is given by

= |x2 –x1|
