You take the two endpoints of a line segment, and use the distance formula on it. The distance formula is the square root of (x1-x1)2 + (y1-y2)2

Just subtract the lowest number from the greatest number. For example, the distance between 3 and 8, is 8 - 3 = 5 units, the distance between -2 and 3, is 3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5 units, the distance between -4 and -2, is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2 units.
A LINE CONSISTS OF THE LINEAR DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 POINTS.
The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is away from 0. For example, on the number line 2 is 2 units from 0 So |2|=2. But, -2 is also 2units away from 0 on the number line, so |-2|=2 as well. In general for any real number x , |x| is the distance from x to 0 on the number line. That helps us see why if x is a negative number, the distance from zero must still be positive. So for x<0, |x| is -x. For example, if x is -2, the absolute value is -(-2) which is positive 2. In general is a and b are real numbers |a-b|=|b-a| and both are the distance between a and b. Now let a =0 and we have |-b|=|b|

Infinite. !!!! The number line extends from negative infinioty ..... -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, ... positive infinity .

The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
The number directly in the middle of 2 and -3 on the number line is -0.5.
Measurement always deals with a distance of a line or a distance between to objects, distance between 2 points, and so on.
Straight line, between Teheran and Bucharest the distance is ca. 2 350 km.
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
