- E.
-4-(-13)|
Which expression is equivalent to the distance between -13 and -4 on a number line? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

B because it wants the distance so if you use an number line you start at -4 and end at -13. To write it as a problem it would be -13-(-4) and when you do a negative times a negative it a positive so your final problem will be -13 +4= 9. you could check it by doing a number line and counting how many units there is from -4 to -13. This is why B is the answer.
