Question

Explain how to find the distance between two integers using the difference

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the difference between two integers by adding the additive inverse. The distance is the absolute value of the difference. Check the distance by plotting the original two integers on a number line and counting the units between them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we want to find the distance between two integers using the difference, the best way is to plot them on number line. And then count distance between them.

For example -3 and -1.

When we want to find difference we have:

-3-(-1)=-2

But distance can not be negative.

Now, we need to count distance between numbers -3 and -1 on the number line.

So we have from -3 to -2, one place and from -2 to -1 one place it is 2 places.

So distance is 2.
