Point P, Q, and R are shown on the number line. What is the distance between point P and point Q? P(-76) Q(-24) R(0) A) 52 units B) 63 units C) 70 units D) 100 units

The correct option is;

A) 52 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on the number line progress from lowest value to highest value with the magnitude increasing in both ways from the zero mark. That is, numbers on the left of zero mark, (negative numbers) increase as we progress to the left while numbers on the right of the zero mark, (positive numbers) increase as we progress to the right.

Here we have point P = -76 and

Point Q = -24

Therefore Q > P

Hence the distance from P to Q is

Q - P = -24 - (-76) = 52.

the correct answer is 5
