Answer: 16 units

Explanation:

The distance between any two points
and
on a number line is given by :-

d=|x_2-x_1|

From the given picture, there is a number line where point S is at -2 and point T is at 14.

Then, the distance between points S and T will be :_

$d=|14-(-2)|\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=|14+2|=|16|=16\text{ units}$

Hence, the distance between points S and T = 16 units
