Question

Find the given distances between points P, Q, R, and S on a number line, with coordi-nates -4, -1, 8, and 12, respectively. d(P, Q)

Accepted Answer

Three points on the X axis M and N have coordinates of negative 32 and negative 11 respectively. Calculate the distance between them. Possible answer being 43 negative 43 negative 21 and 21. Now to solve this, we'll find the distance between them by taking the absolute value of their difference M minus N, we know our N is negative 32 and our N is negative 11. So we get negative 32 minus negative 11 which gives us the absolute value of negative 32 plus 11, which is the absolute value of negative 21 absolute value just means that we will change our negative value here positive since it will be 21 units away from the origin. Other words, we get 21 we then confirm the distance between our two points is answer D OK. I hope to help you solve the problem. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.
