Question

Which number line and equation show how to find the distance from -2 to 5? O O A. 1-2-(-5) 2 3 12-1-5) sing O c. 1-2-5 D. 2-5

Answer 1

So, if I want to know the distance from -2 to 5, all I have to do is to substract 5 from -2 and then apply absolute value, like this:

`\mleft|-2-5\mright|\text{ = }\mleft|-7\mright|\text{ = 7}`

And the number line should look like this:
