Respuesta :

The distance between the two points on the number line is of [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5}{9}}[/tex] units.

-------------------------------------------

  • The distance between two numbers on the number line is given by the subtraction of the greater by the smaller number.
  • The greater number is [tex]-\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
  • The smaller is [tex]-\frac{7}{9}[/tex].
  • The distance is:

[tex]-\frac{2}{9} - (-\frac{7}{9}) = -\frac{2}{9} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{-2 + 7}{9} = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]

Thus, distance of [tex]\mathbf{\frac{5}{9}}[/tex] units.
