The expression for the distance between point m and point p is determined as n - p.
How to create the expression for the distance between m and p?
The expression that represents the distance on the number line between m and p is determined as follows;
since the line has three segments, we will have three expression for the distance between m and p as follows;
Distance = m - p + 0 - m + n - 0
Distance = (m - m) + (0 - 0) - p + n
Distance = 0 - p + n
Distance = n - p
Thus, the expression for the distance between point m and point p is determined as n - p.
