Find the distance between the two points on the number line, denoted by each pair of numbers given below:

i) 1, –5

i) 1, -5 -5 1

As we know that the distance between the two points on the number line is the difference between the larger and the smaller number. Here, the larger no. = 1 the smaller no. = -5 Therefore, the distance between the points (1,-5) = {1-(-5)} = 1 + 5 = 6

-1 0 1 2

As we know that the distance between the two points on the number line is the difference between the larger and the smaller number. Here, the larger no. = the smaller no. = Therefore, the distance between the points () = ()

As we know that the distance between the two points on the number line is the difference between the larger and the smaller number. Here, the larger no. = the smaller no. = Therefore, the distance between the points

v) –, -

As we know that the distance between the two points on the number line is the difference between the larger and the smaller number. Here, the larger no. = – = -1.414 (upto 3 decimal places) the smaller no. = - = -1.732 (upto 3 decimal places) Therefore, the distance between the points ( –, -) = {–– (- )}

= (– ) = -1.414 + 1.732

= 0.318
