when finding the distance between two rational numbers on a number line, does the order of the numbers you subtract matter?

Step-by-step explanation:

yes it does my bro

pls mark me brainliest i really need it

the distance between two numbers and on the number line is . Note that the distance between two numbers is always positive, no matter the order. But the difference can be positive or negative, depending on the order.

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance between two points on a line is abs(x1-x2) which is a symmetric function abs(y)=abs(-y) so abs(x1-x2)=abs(-(x1-x2))=abs(x2-x1) so the order does not matter since you take abs after the subtraction.

hopes this helps

and mark me brainliest if it does

Have a good day!

homozygous. one is homozygous, while two is heterozygous.

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
