Question

Find the distance with the help of the number line given below.

d(J, H)

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

It is known that the distance between the two points is obtained by subtracting the smaller co-ordinate from the larger co-ordinate.

The coordinates of points J and H are −2 and −1 respectively.

But −1 > −2

∴ d (J, H) = −1 − (−2)

∴ d (J, H) = −1 + 2

∴ d (J, H) = 1
