Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete because the image is missing. However, I have attached an image from Lumen learning to help you understand how to calculate the difference between two points on a straight line graph.

Given two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a straight line graph as shown in the image attached, a straight line drawn to join the two points gives the distance between the two points. This line drawn to join the points becomes the hypotenuse of a triangle ABC.

Given that;

(x2-x1) =a

(y2-y1)=b

distance =c

Recall that Pythagoras's theorem states that;

Then, according to Pythagoras's theorem;

c =√(x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)

Simply put;

c=√(difference between abscissae)2 - (difference between ordinates)2

You can now substitute values and obtain a numerical result.

x equals 1
