Distance on Number Line

Front

What is the distance between two points on a number line?

Back

The distance between two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference between the two numbers.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between 4 and 10 on a number line?

Back

Distance = |10 - 4| = 6.

Front

What is the distance between -3 and -7 on a number line?

Back

Distance = |-3 - (-7)| = |-3 + 7| = |4| = 4.

Front

What is the distance from 10 to -5 on a number line?

Back

Distance = |10 - (-5)| = |10 + 5| = |15| = 15.

Front

What is the distance from -15 to 15?

Back

Distance = |-15 - 15| = |-30| = 30.

Front

What does absolute value mean in the context of distance?

Back

Absolute value refers to the non-negative value of a number, representing its distance from zero on the number line.

Front

If the temperature is -3°C, how much must it rise to reach 30°C?

Back

Distance = |30 - (-3)| = |30 + 3| = |33| = 33 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for finding distance on a number line?

Back

Distance = |x2 - x1|, where x1 and x2 are the two points.

Front

What is the distance between 0 and -5 on a number line?

Back

Distance = |0 - (-5)| = |0 + 5| = |5| = 5.

Front

What is the distance between -10 and 10 on a number line?

Back

Distance = |-10 - 10| = |-20| = 20.
