Step 1
The distance between any two points ""a"" and ""b"" id given by |a-b| or |b-a|, where a and ""b"" are any two points on a real number line,
Here, a= -3.6 and b = -1.4
Step 2
To calculate the distance,
Distance =|a-b|
=|-3.6-(-1.4)|
=|-3.6+1.4|
=|-2.2|
=2.2
Here, a= -3.6 and b = -1.4
Step 2
To calculate the distance,
Distance =|a-b|
=|-3.6-(-1.4)|
=|-3.6+1.4|
=|-2.2|
=2.2
