Answer:
[tex]|AB|=6\:units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the absolute value method to find the distance between two numbers on the number line.
A is at [tex]-5[/tex] on the number line.
B is at [tex]1[/tex] on the number line.
The distance between A and B is
[tex]|AB|=|1--5|[/tex]
[tex]|AB|=|1+5|[/tex]
[tex]|AB|=|6|[/tex]
[tex]|AB|=6[/tex]
