Answer:
The correct answers are: 1 and -15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be a point on number line and b be the second point on number line.
The distance between two numbers on number line is calculate by subtracting the smaller number from larger number.
Here
AB = 8
B = -7
We have to look at the options one by one.
For A = -1
As A>B
[tex]AB = B-A = -1-(-7) = -1+7 = 6[/tex]
For A = 1
As A>B so
[tex]AB = A-B = 1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8[/tex]
So with A = 1 , AB = 8
This is one of the right answers.
For A=15
As A>B
[tex]AB = A-B = 15-(-7) = 15+7 = 22\\[/tex]
For A=-15
As B>A
[tex]AB = B-A = -7-(-15) = -7+15 = 8[/tex]
As with A=1 and A=-15, the distance between AB is 8 so these are the correct answers.
Hence,
The correct answers are: 1 and -15
