Hey,
If the distance between two points say A and B is 10 and the distance between the next two points say B and C is (-9.5), then find the distance between the points A and C, where A as well as C are the two distinct endpoints.

Your Correct answer: b
Details Explanation:

According to the given question,
The distance between the points A and B = 10 units
The distance between the points B and C = -9.5 units
We have to find the distance between A and C which are the two distinct endpoints of
the line i.e., from this we can say that,
AB + BC = AC
∴ 10 + (-9.5) = AC
∴ AC = 0.5 units
Hence, the correct answer is option b.
