Explain how to find the distance between two integers using the difference.

A simple way to calculate the distance between numbers on a number line is to count every number between them. A faster way is to find the distance by taking the absolute value of the difference of those numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:    Finding the distance between any two integers is obtained by;

Taking the absolute value of the difference between the two integer values.

For instance :

Point A = - 10

Point B = 5

The distance between the two integer points is :

Difference = Point A - Point B = - 10 - 5 = - 15

Absolute value = |-15| = 15

Therefore, This procedure works for any pair of integer distances.

True, because both numbers cancel each other out.
