Question

Find length
__
AB

A:-6
B: 8

Answer 1

14 = AB

Explanation:

When finding length, absolute value is the way to go! So if A is -6 and b is 8, then we need to find the distance between them. You can physically count on a number line like I see you did, which would be -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8=14 numbers

or you can set up the expression---

| -6-8 |

which equals

| -14 |

or

14

because 14 is the same as | -14 |

Answer 2

To find the distance between those two points you would need to

do, -6 - (8), which is -14, and than take away the minus sign, and the length of AB is 14 units.
