Question

What is the distance between -7 and 3?

Answer 1

The distance from -7 to 0 is 7.
The distance from 0 to 3 is 3.

The distance from -7 to 3 is 7 + 3, which is 10.

The distance between -7 and 3 is 10.

Answer 2

Given two point x₁ and x₂ in the real line, its distance is:
distante=[x₂-x₁] or
distante=[x₁-x₂]


x=-7
x=3

distance=[-7-(3)]=[-7-3]=[-10]=10

Answer: the distance between -7 and 3 is 10.
