Answer:

The distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find distance between points 8 and -5

The formula used to find the distance is: Distance=|b-a|

Absolute value is used to get only positive values. i.e |-1|=1 if required.

We are given: b=8 and a=-5

Putting values and finding distance

Distance=|b-a|\\Distance=|8-(-5)|\\Distance=|8+5|\\Dstance=|13|\\Distance=13

So, the distance between points 8 and -5 is 13
