What is the distance between the origin and the point (5 12)?
Distance from (0, 0) to (5, 12) using distance formula is 13
How do you find the difference between numbers?
The difference between two numbers is determined by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number. For example the difference between 12 and 9 is: 12-9=3. For negative integers, you will see that the difference is the total distance. For example, the difference between (-12) and 9 is 9-(-12) when you simplify by eliminating the double sign, the two minus signs become one plus sign: 9+12=21. More simply put, you will have to travel 12 to get from (-12) to zero, then another 9 to travel the total distance (difference) of 21.
