Answer:
4 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Method A
1) Method A: Let 2 be the starting point and -2, the finishing one. Counting between 2 and -2, we can count a distance of 4 units. That's the simplest way, but not convenient to great numbers on the Number Line.
Method B:
There is no such thing as a negative distance, as a physical quantity. So this is the reason why we need to compute the absolute value of two numbers, which is simply what was done on Method B.
|2-(-2)|=|4|=4
As we are dealing with absolute values, the order is not relevant after all, the result remains the same. Take a look:
|-2-2|=|-4|=4
That's why the greater (2) or the lesser number (-2) can be the subtrahend (in bold within the brackets.

Answer:
y = 3x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 0)
m = =
= 3, thus
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 6, 0), then
0 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 18 = 18
y = 3x + 18 ← equation of line
