Find the length of a line segment with endpoints of -9 and 7.
a
-16
c. 16
d. 26
select the best answer from the choices provided

C. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points on the number line is the absolute value of the difference of their coordinates.

If the coordinates of two points on the number line are a and b, then the distance between the two points is

d = |a - b|

The coordinates here are -9 and 7.

distance = |-9 - 7| = |-16| = 16

it's

b
