Chapter 1: Q. 2 (page 13)

If -3and 5 are the coordinates of two points on the real number line, the distance between these points is _________.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance between the given points is 8.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

If and 5 are the coordinates of two points on the real number line, the distance between these points is _________.

02

Step 2. Determine the distance between two points.

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

5-(-3)=5+3=8

We can use absolute value to calculate the distance between two points without being concerned about which is smaller.

-3-5=-8=8

03

Step 3. Conclusion.

The distance between the given points is 8.
