Look at the number line below.
The number line between -8 and 8 in increment of 2 has a point between -6 and -4 and another point between 0 and 2.
OR
A number has a point at -5 and another point at 1.
Which expression represents the distance, in units, between the two points?
A.
B.
C.
D.
The distance between the points can be calculated by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number.
In this case, the two points are at -5 and 1.
So, the distance between the two points is:
1 - (-5) = 1 + 5 = 6
Therefore, the correct expression is:
C. 6
