@~Miyanna~ There's #1
I can't tell what the points are
Column B are the answers to column A just have to match
Don't you just need to count?
That's what I thought... @IshimaruRitsu
1 is B
1. B, 2 - 3. C
2 is C
Idk about 4
yep your right!!
3 is B
4 is C
When it's negative to you subtract?
I mean A
do*
yes
can you medal the right answers?
1. B, 2. C, 3. B, 4. A right?
So 1 is B, 2 is C, 3 is B, and 4 is A

She's just helping me.. @amistre64
i see no help, i see answer direct answers being tossed around.
distance is determined by subtracting one value from the other, if you get a negative value then just ignore the sign
So for example would it be like -22 - 6 = 16?
just ignore the sign completely?
Yeah
-22-6 = -28 so the distance doesnt care about direction so positive an negative resutls are irreleveant and we just take an absoute value |-22-6| = 28
What if they were both negative?
Than that's your answer
the distance between say: -2 and -6 -2 --6 = -2+6 = 4 or -6 --2 = -6+2 = -4, or simply 4
Is it always positive?
the distance between things is always a positive value yes, but more accurately, its an 'absolute' value
To fine the distance between to points on a number line, you'd subtract the points together for example: -22 - (-6)
So i'm thinking it'd be 16.
the terms positive and negative assume a direction is involved. distance is not a direction. the distance between 2 points deals with subtraction -22 - (-6) = -16 but direction does not matter so just 16 is correct
the distance remains the same regardless of the order of subtraction agreed? therefore -6 - (-22) = 16
That was a big help, before this I though I was supposed to add
good luck
Thanks
One more question, is there ever a case were you substitute subtraction with addition? @amistre64
well, when we consider subtraction as a vectors then subtraction is just adding a negative
spose we have 2 point a and -b a - (-b) = a + (--b) and two negatives is a positive sooo a + b is the result of subtracting a negative
this isnt a matter of substitution, its just a byproduct of doing proper math skills
