Question

According to the number line, what is the distance between points A and B? A number line going from negative 16 to positive 12. A closed circle appears at negative 2 and is labeled A. A closed circle appears at positive 12 and is labeled B. An orange arrow line extends the length of the number line and contains points A and B.

Answer 1

14units

Explanation:

Given

Initial point A = -2 (since it is on negative 2)

Other point B = 12 (lying in positive 12)

To get the distance between point A and B, we will use the expression:

AB = point B - point A

Substitute the given point in the expression

AB = 12-(-2)

AB = 12+2

AB = 14

Hence the distance between points A and B in the number line is 14units
