Calculate the distance between $negative 4.2$ and $negative 2.2$ on the number line.

2
3
4
5

hint Hint:

As we know to find the distance between the two units on the number line we will simply susbtract the two units.

The correct answer is: 2

We know that distance is the difference between the numbers.
So, we will substract the units mentioned in the question to find the distance
$vertical line minus 4.2 minus left parenthesis negative 2.2 right parenthesis vertical line equals vertical line minus 4.2 plus 2.2 vertical line equals space 2 space$ units.
Hence the distance between -4.2 and -2.2 is 2 units
