Answer:
<h3>6 units</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached, from the diagram , it can be seen that point A is at -5 and point B is at 1.
In order to get the distance between points A and B, we will take the difference between the two points
Distance AB = B - A
Given that B 1 and A = -5
AB = 1 -(-5)
The product of two negative sign will give a positive sign. Hence the equation will become;
AB = 1+5
AB = 6 units
Hence the distance between points A and B is 6 units
