Question

What is the distance between points S and T?

Answer 1

Answer:  16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ on a number line is given by :-

$d=|x_2-x_1|$

From the given picture, there is a number line where point S is at -2 and point T is at 14.

Then, the distance between points S and T will be :_

$d=|14-(-2)|\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=|14+2|=|16|=16\text{ units}$

Hence, the distance between points S and T = 16 units

Answer 2

The distance between points S and T is 16.
