Answer 1

@mathstudent55 @wio @nincompoop @SolomonZelman @Directrix @dan815 I thought it was 2. I was wrong...?

Answer 2

How far is it from - 6 to 8?

It is not 2 units.

Answer 5

I don't understand what you mean. @directrix

Answer 6

@Directrix 14 units ????

Answer 7

Yes, 14 units.

If you don't want to count them, you can take the absolute value of the differnce of the coordinates.

abs( -6 - 8) = abs (-14) = 14

Answer 8

@DNTU4GETBOUTME

To get the midpoint, take 1/2 of 14 and add what you get to the left endpoint of -6.
