Question

find the distance between a and b on the number line below.
a is at -12, b is at -1. distance: blank

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A and B

A is at -12, B is at -1.

Step2: Calculate distance using formula

Distance between two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) on number line is \( |x_1 - x_2| \). So \( |-12 - (-1)| = |-11| = 11 \).

Answer:

11
