Answer to Problem 2WE
The distance between the two points on a number line is 14
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers given are the coordinates of two points on a number line.
Formula used:
Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
Calculation:
From the definition;
Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
From above argument distance is:
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 14.
Conclusion:
The distance between the two points is 14.
