Find the distance between points on the coordinate line B (2.6) and T (-1.2) A (-6.2) and P (0.7) M (1.8) and N (-2.5) S (-5.7) and T (0.9)

In order to find out the length of a segment, it is necessary to subtract the coordinate of the beginning of the segment from the coordinate of the end of the segment.

The coordinate of the start of the line segment will always be the first letter, and the coordinate of the end of the line segment will always be the second letter.

1) Subtract from the coordinate of the end of the segment, T, the coordinate of the beginning of the segment, B. Thus, we will find the length of the segment BT:

-1.2 – 2.6 = -3.8.

2) By analogy, we will solve the rest of the tasks:

0.7 – (-6.2) = 0.7 + 6.2 = 6.9.

3) -2.5 – 1.8 = -4.3.

4) 0.9 – (-5.7) = 0.9 + 5.7 = 6.6.
