Question

determine the distance between the points on the number line. if you have two points in the coordinate plane, you can find the distance between them. the same concept as if you did it on a number line. if you travel 2 miles from home to school, on the way home, you do not travel -2 miles. you travel 2 miles. 4 miles overall. distances are always positive. the distance between the points are 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distance formula on number line

The distance $d$ between two points $a$ and $b$ on a number line is $d = |a - b|$.

Step2: Assume points values

Although the points are not labeled in the image, if we assume the two - point values are such that when we calculate the absolute - value of their difference, we get 6. For example, if the two points are $a$ and $b$ and $|a - b|=6$.

Answer:

6
