The distance between the points 8 and -8 on the number line is 16. And neither of the points is further.
According to the statement Diego plots -8 and lily plots 8 on the number line as shown in the below figure.
As we know the negative numbers lies on the left side of the number line and positive numbers lie on the right side of the number line. That is -8 is marked on the left side of the number line and 8 on the right side of the number line.
We have been the distance between the two points. To find the distance we add the two points, that is,
|-8| + 8 =8 + 8
= 16
Thus the distance between the two points is 16.
Further we have been asked which is further. As we can see from the below figure both are in equal distance from the origin that is from the point 0.
Hence neither points are further.
