A. 6

B. 0

C. 3

D. 5

Answer 1

A. 6

Explanation:

To find the measure of KN from the given number line.

Solution:

The given number line represents numbers from -8 to 8 nearest to 1 units.

From the given number line the point K is located at -3.

Point N is located at 3.

In order to find the measure of the segment KN, we can count the units between K and N.

The numbers in between K and N are :

-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

Thus, there are 6 units between K and N.

The measure can also be found out by finding the difference of the points.

KN=
`3-(-3)=3+3` = 6 units
