Question

find the distance between k and l on the number line below.
k is at -8, l is at -1.
distance:
(there are also reset and cancel buttons, and a number line from -12 to 12 with k at -8 and l at -1 marked.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of K and L

K is at -8, L is at -1.

Step2: Calculate distance

Distance between two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) on number line is \( |x_1 - x_2| \). So \( |-8 - (-1)| = |-7| = 7 \).

Answer:

7
