Question

The distance between - 18 and 8

Answer 1

26

Explanation

Step 1

the distance between 2 points is given by:

$\text{distance =end point-initial point}$

Also, watch in the graph that the distance is equal to the distance from -18 to cero(purple line) plus the distance between cero and 8( green line)

Step 2

replace

$\begin{gathered} \text{distance =end point-initial point} \\ \text{distance =8-(-}18)=8+18=26 \\ \text{distance}=26 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the distance is 26
