Question

on number line the coordinates of two points -8 and-3 respectively find d(P,Q)

Answer 1

Answer:

d(P,Q) = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line can be defined as a straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals or segments along its length.

So, distance between two points on a number line can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference between the coordinates of two points.

Coordinate of P = -8 and Coordinate of Q = -3

So, d(P,Q) = | -8 - (-3) |

                 = | -8 + 3 |

                 = | -5 |

                = 5 units

Hence, d(P,Q) = 5 units
