Question

What is the distance between -5 and 2

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Explanation:

In the line that goes from 0 to infinity and minus infiity you can calculate what is the distance from -5 to 2, you just have to count the spots and to do so we will use a line:

-10   -9   -8   -7   -6   -5   -4   -3   -2   -1   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

As you can see we just have to count the number we have to jump from -5 to 2, and those are 7 numers: -4   -3   -2   -1   0   1   2, so the distance between -5 and 2 is 7 units.

Answer 2

Ok so you can draw out a number line it is 7
