Question

Help please
Find the distance between K and L on the number line.

Answer 1

Answer:  10

====================================================

Explanation:

Let point M be at zero on the number line.

• From K to M is 7 spaces
• From M to L is 3 spaces

Overall, the total distance is 7+3 = 10 units.

-------------

Another route:

You can subtract and apply absolute value.

| K - L | = | -7 - 3| = | -10 | = 10

Or,

| L - K | = |3 - (-7)| = |3 + 7| = |10| = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since negatives don't count since it is the amount of spaces, we can frog jump from K to L and count as we jump.
