The number line shows the distance in meters of two birds, A and B, from a worm located at point X:

A horizontal number line extends from negative 3 to positive 3. The point labeled as A is at negative 2.5, the point 0 is labeled as X, and the point labeled B is at 2.5.
Part A: Write an expression using subtraction to find the distance between the two birds. (5 points)

Part B: Show your work and solve for the distance using additive inverses.

If the coordinate of A (-2.5, 0) and B (2.5, 0). Then the distance between bird A and bird B will be 5 units.

The shortest distance (length of the straight line segment's length connecting both given points) between points ( p,q) and (x,y) is:

D² = (x-p)² + (y-q)²

The number line shows the distance in meters of two birds, A and B, from a worm located at point X:

A horizontal number line extends from negative 3 to positive 3.

The point labeled as A is at negative 2.5, the point 0 is labeled as X, and the point labeled B is at 2.5.

Then the coordinate of A (-2.5, 0) and B (2.5, 0).

Then the distance will be

D² = (2.5 + 2.5)² + (0 - 0)²

D² = 5²

D = 5 units
