I will solve the problem of finding the distance between two points for each of the two questions shown in the image.
Problem 1:
Given: Point F is at (2, -3) and Point G is at (8, -3).
Step 1: Analyze the coordinates.
- Both points have the same y-coordinate (-3), which means they lie on the same horizontal line.
- The x-coordinates are 2 and 8.
Step 2: Calculate the distance.
Since the points are on a horizontal line, the distance between them is simply the absolute difference of their x-coordinates:
Distance = |8 - 2| = 6 units.

Problem 2:
Given: Point A is at (-3, 2) and Point B is at (-3, 3).
Step 1: Analyze the coordinates.
- Both points have the same x-coordinate (-3), which means they lie on the same vertical line.
- The y-coordinates are 2 and 3.
Step 2: Calculate the distance.
Since the points are on a vertical line, the distance between them is simply the absolute difference of their y-coordinates:
Distance = |3 - 2| = 1 unit.

Final Answers:
1. The distance between Point F (2, -3) and Point G (8, -3) is
6 units.
2. The distance between Point A (-3, 2) and Point B (-3, 3) is
1 unit.
