Question

what is the distance between -25 and 15 on a number line?

Answer 1

Well if you have one that’s negative and one that’s positive, I’m guessing that you would add them. So 25+15 is 40. Also the distance will always be positive because it can only be that way. Otherwise we might have a singularly on our hands, heheh... So the distance is 40 between these 2 points.

Answer 2

-25 -24 -23 -22 -21 -20 -19 -18 -17 -16 -15 -14 -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 now just count them
