6.G.A.3 Tutor Intake -- Polygons in the Coordinate Plane

This short check helps your tutor see where to start. Work each problem on
your own, without a calculator unless a problem says otherwise. If you are
not sure, give your best try — every answer helps your tutor plan your
first few sessions.

Concepts

Two points share the same first coordinate (the same x-value).
What direction does the segment joining them run, and can its
length be found using this lesson's coordinate-difference tool?

Vertical — yes, length is the absolute difference of the y-coordinates

Horizontal — yes, length is the absolute difference of the y-coordinates

It could be slanted — use the absolute difference of the x-coordinates

It could be slanted — this lesson's tool cannot find its length
