Find the distance between I and J on the number line below.

Answer 1

The position of I on the number line is -11.

The position of J on the number line is -3.

The distance between I and J can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} IJ=-3-(-11) \\ =-3+11 \\ =8 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required distance is 8.
