Question

Is there a relationship between the distance and the sum? Is there a relationship between the distance and the difference? A 5-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled a with entries 1, 4, negative 6. Column 2 is labeled b with entries 2, negative 1, negative 3. Column 3 is labeled a + b with entries 3, 3, negative 9. Column 4 is labeled a minus b with entries negative 1, 5, negative 3. Column 5 is labeled Distance with entries 1 unit, 5 units, 3 units. Which describes the relationship between the distance and the difference? The distance is always the opposite of the difference. The distance is exactly the difference. The distance is the absolute value of the difference. The distance is not related to difference.

Answer 1

Answer:

• C) The distance is the absolute value of the difference

Step-by-step explanation:

We are interested in the last two columns.

If we compare them we see that each value of the distance column is the absolute value of corresponding value of difference:

• a - b        = 1, 5, - 3
• distance  = 1, 5, 3

Corect choice is C
