Point A is located at negative 4 over 6 and point B is located at negative 1 over 6. What is the distance between points A and B?

negative 4 over 6 minus negative 1 over 6 = negative 3 over 6; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 3 over 6 equals negative 3 over 6 units
negative 4 over 6 minus negative 1 over 6 = negative 3 over 6; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 3 over 6 equals 3 over 6 units
negative 4 over 6 plus negative 1 over 6 = negative 5 over 6; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 6 equals 5 over 6 units
negative 4 over 6 plus negative 1 over 6 = negative 5 over 6; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 6 equals negative 5 over 6 units

3/6 because absolute value of any number has to be positive and you have to subtract the 2 answers to find the distance
