Answer:
The distance between points W and X
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points [tex]p_{1}[/tex] and [tex]p_{2}[/tex] is:
[tex]d=|p_{2}-p_{1}|[/tex]
For the points
W = -8 and
X = -3
point 1 is W: [tex]p_{1}=-8[/tex]
and point 2 is X: [tex]p_{2}=-3[/tex]
so the distance between them is:
[tex]d=|-3-(-8)|\\d=|-3+8|\\d=|5|\\d=5[/tex]
the distance between -8 and -3 is 5 units.
And for the other options this statement is not true, only for points W and X.
