Answer:

The distance between points A and B is 6 unit.

Consider the provided information.

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

It is given that A number line going from negative 8 to positive 8. A closed circle appears at negative 5 and is labeled A. A closed circle appears at positive 1 and is labeled B. An orange arrow line extends the length of the number line and contains points A and B.

First draw a number line from -8 to 8.

Make a circle at -5 and labeled it A.

Make another circle at positive 1 and labeled it B.

The required figure is shown below:

Count the number of steps you need to move from -5 to 1.

From the figure we can concluded that we need to move 5 steps therefore the distance between the points A and B is 6 unit.

We also calculate the distance between them by subtracting -5 from 1.

1-(-5)=6

Hence, the distance between points A and B is 6 unit.
