The distance between the points can be calculated by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number.
In this case, the two points are at -5 and 1.
So, the distance between the two points is:
1 - (-5) = 1 + 5 = 6
Therefore, the correct expression is:
C. 6
Look at the number line below.
The number line between -8 and 8 in increment of 2 has a point between -6 and -4 and another point between 0 and 2.
OR
A number has a point at -5 and another point at 1.
