Question

Points P, Q, and R are shown on the number line. What is the distance between point P and point Q? P(-76) Q(-24) R(0) A) 52 units B) 63 units C) 70 units D) 100 units

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 52 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a line joining 2 points on a number line is given by the difference between the co-ordinates of the 2 points.

Therefore PQ= $\left ( Q \right )-\left ( P \right )= \left ( -24 \right )-\left ( -76 \right )= 52$

Hence the length of the line is 52 units
