Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Points on a number line are,
x = -7, 1
Number of small blocks between x = -7 and 1 is 8.
Distance = 8
b). Difference between two points x = -7, 1 will be,
1 - (-7) = 1 + 7
= 8
-7 - 1 = -8
c). Absolute value of each difference,
|1 - (-7)| = 1 + 7
= 8
|-7 - 1| = |-8|
= 8
