Answer to Problem 3WE
The distance between the two points is 4.5
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers -1.2 and -5.7 are the coordinates of two points on a number line.
Formula used:
The Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
Calculation:
From the definition
The Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
From above argument distance is:
Therefore, the distance between the given two points is 4.5.
Conclusion:
The distance between the two points is 4.5.
