distance=sqrt ((y1-y2)^2 + (x1-x2)^2 )
watch the signs on the negative point.
Calculate the distance between the points -2/3 and 3/4 on the number line. Please show how you arrived at the answer.

So you don't add the two to come up with the distance? All I need is the distance between the two fractions. Thanks!
take the (larger number) - (smaller number)
= 3/4 - (-2/3)
= 3/4 + 2/3
I will let you finish it.
I think bobpursley misread your question,
he gave you the formula for the distance between two points.
It will work if you consider your data to be the points (3/4,0) and (-2/3, 0)
= 3/4 - (-2/3)
= 3/4 + 2/3

Could you be adding both fraction here after coming up with the common denominator? which is 12?
for the final ans of 17/12 or 1 5/12?
