Question

Which expression shows the distance on the number line between −3 and −10?

Answer 1

−3−(−10) is expression that shows the distance on the number line between −3 and −10.

Answer 2

distance will be shown by -3-(-10)

Explanation:

The distance between any two points are given by final point minus intial point

For example if A is the initial point of any line and B is the final point of the same line

And A has 4 units on number line

And B has 6 units on number line

Then the distance will be given by

B-A=6-4

Similarly given points -3 and -10 the distance will be given by

-3-(-10)=7
