Question

Suppose​ a, b, and c are all negative numbers. How do you find the distance between the points​ (a,b) and​ (a,c)?

Choose the correct answer below.
A. Subtract the lesser of |b| and |c| from the greater.
B. Subtract the greater of |b| and |c| from the lesser.
C. Add to |c|.
D. Subtract |b| from |c|.
E. Subtract |c| from |b|.

Answer 1

E

Explanation:

Let's say if b = -2 and c = -3

-2-(-3) = 1 that would be the distance between them. If it was D then you would need absolute value.
