lynn plotted a point on a number line at -12 and tammy plotted a point at 25. The distance between their point can be calculated using the expression below. (-12-25)
What is distance between their points?
37
13
-13**
-37

To find the distance between two points on a number line, we can subtract the coordinates of the two points. In this case, Lynn plotted a point at -12 and Tammy plotted a point at 25. Using the expression (-12 - 25), we can calculate the distance.
When we subtract -12 from 25, we get:
25 - (-12) = 25 + 12 = 37
Therefore, the distance between their points is 37.
