Answer 1

The expression that represents the distance is $|-2\dfrac{1}{5}-4.35|$

How to determine the expression?

The points are given as:

4.35 and $-2\dfrac{1}{5}$

The distance between points a and b is calculated using the following absolute value expression

Distance = |b - a|

This means that:

$Distance = |-2\dfrac{1}{5}-4.35|$

Hence, the expression that represents the distance is $|-2\dfrac{1}{5}-4.35|$
