Answer 1

The distance between points A and B on the number line is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between points A and B can be found by subtracting the coordinates of point A from the coordinates of point B on the number line:

Distance = |B - A|

Distance = |(-2) - (-14)|

Distance = |(-2) + 14|

Distance = 16 units
