The distance works out as 22 between the points of (15, -17) and (-7, -17)
The two possible candidates are 17 and 18. distance from 17.26 to 17 = 0.26 distance from 17.26 to 18 = 0.74 so 17 is the nearest whole number.
The whole number between 13 and 17 is 15
the first point is x = 28 and y = -17. The second point is x = -15 and y = -17. Since both points have the same y coordinate then the points are on a straight horizontal line and distance is the difference of the x coordinates, or 28 - (-15) = 43
17 is the absolute value of -17, that is, the value of the number without the negative number sign.

Go to the number 4 on the number line. Draw a vertical line at this point: going up at 90 degrees to the number line. Measure 1 unit [ = the distance from 0 to 1] on this line and mark it as Y. Take a compass and put the point at 0. Take the pencil to the point Y and draw an arc to intersect the number lie at the point X. Then X is the required point, at sqrt(17).
On the number line it is -17

It is the square root of (-4-11)2+(17-17)2 which works out as 15.
