Question

Find the distance between the following numbers on the real number line

Answer 1

We have to find the distance between a = -10 and b = -3 in the number line.

We can graph them as:

The distance is 7 units.

It can also be calculated as:

`d=|a-b|=|-10-(-3)|=|-10+3|=|-7|=7`

Answer: the distance is 7 units.
