Answer: to find the distance between two numbers on a number line use the difference of both numbers
Step-by-step explanation: say For example, the distance between 4 and −4 on the number line given by the |4 – (−4) | = |4 + 4 | = 8 units
Or
Distance between the integers
-3&-9
|−3 −(−9) | = |−3 + 9| = |6| = 6 units
