Question

Find the distance between the two numbers.

1. -2 and 9
2. 3 and -6
3. -2 and -4
4. -8 and 4
5. 9 and -5
6. -3 and 5

What pattern do you see?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. =9-(-2)

=9-(-2)=11

2. =-6-3

. =-6-3=-9

3. =-4-(-2)

. =-4-(-2)= -2

5. =4-(-8)

. =4-(-8)=12

5. =-5-9

. =-5-9=-14

6. =5-(-3)

. =5-(-3)=8

if specifically they do not want the directions don't include the signs of the outputs because distance cannot be negative!!!!
