Find the distance between points M (–7.1) and N (4.2) on the coordinate line.

The distance between points M and N will also be equal to the length of the segment MN. To find the length of this segment, it is necessary to subtract the coordinate of the segment start from the coordinate of the end of the segment:

4.2 – (-7.1) = 4.2 + 7.1 = 11.3 length of the segment MN.

Answer: 11.3.
