Question

(01.02MC)Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B?

negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals negative 7 over 8 units
negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals 7 over 8 units
negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units
negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals 5 over 8 units

Answer 1

Answer:

D) negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals 5 over 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\frac{6}{8} - (-\frac{1}{8} ) = -\frac{5}{8}$

Note the absolute value of a number is always positive:

$|-\frac{5}{8} | = \frac{5}{8}$
