The distance between the points -2.5 and 4.6.

Answer to Problem 4WE
The distance between the two points is 7.1.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The numbers given are the coordinates of two points on a number line, i.e. between -2.5 and 4.6
Formula used:
The Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
Calculation:
From the definition
The Distance can be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference of coordinates of points.
From above argument distance is:
Hence, the distance between the two points is 7.1.
Conclusion:
The distance between the two points is 7.1.
