The image depicts a number line ranging from -20 to 20. Two points, marked as E and F, are highlighted on this number line. Point E is located at -5, and point F is located at 10. Beneath the number line, the question is posed: "What is the length of line segment EF?" ### Explanation: To find the length of the line segment EF, calculate the distance between the two points on the number line. - **Position of E**: -5 - **Position of F**: 10 **Length of EF** = |10 - (-5)| = |10 + 5| = 15 Therefore, the length of line segment EF is 15 units.
