Answer:
In a general point (x, y) the horizontal component is the x-component, and the vertical component is the y-component.
then if we have the points (a, b) and (c, d)
The vertical distance or change between these points will be the difference between the y-components, and the horizontal distance or change is the difference between the x-components.
Then the vertical change between the points (2.5 , 1) and (5, 2) is:
2 - 1 = 1 unit.
The horizontal change between the points (2.5, 1) and (5, 2) is:
5 - 2.5 = 2.5 units.
