Question

What is the distance between points A and B? 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. units units 5 units 6 units

Answer 1

D. 6 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

6 units

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached, from the diagram , it can be seen that point A is at -5 and point B is at 1.

In order to get the distance between points A and B, we will take the difference between the two points

Distance AB = B - A

Given that B 1 and A = -5

AB = 1 -(-5)

The product of two negative sign will give a positive sign. Hence the equation will become;

AB = 1+5

AB = 6 units

Hence the distance between points A and B is 6 units
