In order to find the distance between the points, you need to subtract the point from the point closer to the plus of infinity, closer to the minus of infinity.
a) A (3) and B (-8);
d = 3 – (-8) = 3 + 8 = 11;
Answer: d (AB) = 11.
b) A (-24) and B (-16);
d = -16 – (-24) = -16 + 24 = 24 – 16 = 10 – 2 = 8.
Answer: d (AB) = 8.
