Answer:

the distance between points M and P

Explanation:

we know that

The distance between two points in a number line is equal to the absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates of the points

so

Find distance LM

$dLM=\left|-7-(-1)\right|$

$dLM=\left|-7+1\right|$

$dLM=\left|-6\right|$

$dLM=6\ units$

Find distance MN

$dMN=\left|-1-2\right|$

$dMN=\left|-3\right|$

$dMN=3\ units$

Find distance NP

$dNP=\left|2-6\right|$

$dNP=\left|-4\right|$

$dNP=4\ units$

Find distance MP

$dMP=\left|-1-6\right|$

$dMP=\left|-7\right|$

$dMP=7\ units$
