If two points lie on the

$x$ -axis or

$y$ -axis, then the distance between them is equal to the difference between the

$x$ -coordinates or

$y$ -coordinates respectively.

To find the distance between two points we can apply the below formula.

The distance between the given two

$A (x_{1}, y_{1})$ and

$B (x_{2}, y_{2})$ , points is:

$d = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}$ .

Distance from Origin:

To find the distance of a point

$A (x_{1}, y_{1})$ from the Origin

$O$ \((0,0))\ we can use the formula,

$OA = \sqrt{{x_{1}}^{2} + {y_{1}}^{2}}$ .
