Use Pythagoras:

For a line joining two points (x0, y0) to (x1, y1) there is a right angle triangle:

One side (leg) joins (x0, y0) to (x1, y0) with length (x1 - x0)

One side (leg) joins (x1, y0) to (x1, y1) with length (y1 - y0)

The hypotenuse joins (x0, y0) to (x1, y1)

→ length hypotenuse = √((x1 - x0)² + (y1 - y0)²)

→ length between (0, 0) and (-15, 8) is given by:

distance = √((-15 - 0)² + (8 - 0)²)

= √((-15)² + (8)²)

= √(225 + 64)

= √289

= 17 units

What is the distance between 15 and 64?

The distance between two numbers on a number line is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the two numbers. In this case, the absolute difference between 15 and 64 is |15 - 64| = 49. Therefore, the distance between 15 and 64 is 49 units.
