For this case we have that the distance between the points will be given by the absolute value of the difference of both:
[tex]d = | -14.6 - (- 5.2) | = | -14.6 + 5.2 | = | -9.4 | = 9.4[/tex]
This is equivalent to:
[tex]d = | -5.2 - (- 14.6) | = | -5.2 + 14.6 | = | 9.4 | = 9.4[/tex]
Asnwer:
[tex]| -14.6 - (- 5.2) | = | -5.2 - (- 14.6) | = 9.4[/tex]
