To find the distance between two points on a number line, you can subtract the smaller number from the larger number and take the absolute value.
In this case, the points are –12 and –7.
1. Subtract the two numbers:
\(-7 - (-12) = -7 + 12 = 5\)
2. The absolute value of 5 is 5.
Therefore, the distance between –12 and –7 on a number line is \(5\) units.
