)Point A is located at negative 7 over 10 and point B is located at negative 2 over 10. What is the distance between points A and B?

negative 7 over 10 plus negative 2 over 10 = negative 9 over 10; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 9 over 10 equals 9 over 10 units
negative 7 over 10 plus negative 2 over 10 = negative 9 over 10; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 9 over 10 equals negative 9 over 10 units
negative 7 over 10 minus negative 2 over 10 = negative 5 over 10; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 10 equals 5 over 10 units
negative 7 over 10 minus negative 2 over 10 = negative 5 over 10; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 10 equals negative 5 over 10 units

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Given information:

Location of point A =
-(7)/(10)

Location of point B =
-(2)/(10)

We need to find the distance between points A and B.

Distance between points A and B = Location of point A - Location of point B


AB=-(7)/(10)-(-(2)/(10))


AB=-(7)/(10)+(2)/(10)


AB=(-7+2)/(10)


AB=-(5)/(10)

Distance can not be negative. So,


|AB|=|-(5)/(10)|


|AB|=(5)/(10)

Negative 7 over 10 minus negative 2 over 10 = negative 5 over 10; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 10 equals 5 over 10 units.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
