Answer:

a and e

Step-by-step explanation:

MrRoyal

Distance is a scalar quantity; so, it is always positive

  • The distance is 25 units
  • The correct expression is: [tex]|-31 -(-6)|[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]n_1 =-31[/tex]

[tex]n_2 = -6[/tex]

The distance between the points is calculated using the following absolute equation.

[tex]d = |n_1 -n_2|[/tex]

[tex]d = |-31 -(-6)|[/tex]

[tex]d = |-31 +6|[/tex]

[tex]d = |-25|[/tex]

Remove absolute brackets

[tex]d = 25[/tex]

Hence, the distance is 25 units and the correct expression is: [tex]|-31 -(-6)|[/tex]
