Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula for a number line is very simple:
[tex]l=|b-a|[/tex] The absolute value signs make unimportant which value you choose for a and which one you choose for b. Let's let A = -8 and B = 8 as posted on the number line. The distance between them, using the formula, is
[tex]l=|8-(-8)|\\l=|16|\\l=16[/tex]
