what is the length of $\overline{ac}$ on the number line?\
a -4\
b -3\
c 3\
d 4

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Determine the coordinates of points A and C
Point A is at -4, and point C is at -1.
## Step2: Use the distance formula on the number line
The distance between two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ on a number line is $|x_2 - x_1|$. Here, $x_1=-4$ and $x_2 = -1$, so the length of $\overline{AC}$ is $|-1-(-4)|$.
$$
\begin{align*}
|-1 - (-4)|&=|-1 + 4|\
&=|3|\
&=3
\end{align*}
$$
