Question

In Exercises 1-4, use the figure shown. Find the length of each segment.TURS+-6-5-4-3-2-1++012.34567 81. RS =2. RT =4. RU =3. ST =

Answer 1

RS is the distance between -5 and -2 which can be written via an absolute value expression: | a - b |

The absolute value of the difference between the numbers (a and b) used for each point on the number line

| -5 - (-2)| = |-5+2| = |-3| = 3

Now for segment
