Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points a and b  using the absolute value is given by

|b-a|.

Here we have a=-13

and b =17

so

Distance = | 17- (-13) |

Distance = |17 +13 |

Distance = | 30 |

Distance = 30 units

In absolute value, the distance is written as |30|

The given points:

[tex](x_1, x_2) = (-13, 17)[/tex]

To find:

  • the distance between -13 and 17

The distance between the two points on a number line is calculated as;

[tex]Distance = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\Distance = \sqrt{(17--13)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(30)^2} \\\\Distance = + /- \ \ 30[/tex]

In absolute value, the distance is written as;

Distance = |30|
