A point is plotted on the number line at 23. A second point is plotted at -4.
What is the length of a line segment joining these points?
Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number in the box.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the distance between the points 2/3 and -4 plotted on a number line.

Distance

The distance is the positive difference between the coordinate values:

  2/3 - (-4) = 2/3 +4 = 4 2/3

__

Additional comment

You most readily get the positive difference by subtracting the left coordinate value (-4) from the right coordinate value (2/3). If you reverse the order, you will have to take the absolute value of the result:

  |-4 -2/3| = |-4 2/3| = 4 2/3
