Question

What expression shows the distance on the number line between −12 and −1 ?

Thxxs! ^^

Answer 1

I am sure that it is -12-(-1), which would give you a distance of 11.

Answer 2

`|d|=-1-(-12)`

Explanation:

The number line is a representation of integers that makes easier to know which number is greater than other or least than other. Basically, the number line is used to position numbers.

Now, the distance between two number on the number line is calculated by finding the difference between greater number and the least number

`d=g-l`

In this case, the greatest number is -1 and the least number is -12, so the distance would be

`|d|=-1-(-12)\\|d|=-1+12\\|d|=11`

Therefore, the expression asked is
`|d|=-1-(-12)`, and the distance between these number is 11 units
