Question

What is the distance between -70 and -30 on a number line

Answer 1

Answer:

40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line, the distance between x and y is given by

|x-y|.

To find the distance between -70 and -30 on the number line, we find the absolute value of their difference.

$| - 30 - - 70| = | - 30 + 70| = |40| = 40$

Therefore the distance between -70 and -30 on the number line is 40 units.
