It is called the distance between the points. A common one is the Pythagorean distance but there are many other measures.

What does comparing locations of numbrs on a number line tell you about the numbers?
It tells you which number is higher than the other or if its closer to its the location point than the other number. (might help : if it negative or positive that is closer.)
What do you call positive or negative number that tells if electrons are gained or lost?
It is called Oxidation number.
You are about to factor a quadratic equation involving some x-s some xs and a front of the plain number is positive this tells you that when you find the two brackets of factors?
The positive number tells you that the brackets will be both pluses or both minuses.
What are a pair of numbers that are the coordinates of a point in a coordinate plane or grid?
One number tells you how far left or right to go from the starting point, and the other number tells you how far up or down to go from the starting point. With those two numbers, you can lead anyone to any point in the infinite plane.
When comparing 437.5 and 4375 which digit tells you witch number is greater?
the last # and the decimal point
How do the coordinates of a point change as the point moves to the right or left?
It all depends on type of coordinate system we choose, number line, 2D or 3D. Think of a number line and take a point P on it. If we move to the right side then we move in positive direction. Say that P is at 3 and it is moved to 5 then difference = 5 - 3 = 2(a positive number), the positive difference, here on number line, tells us that P is moving in positive direction. And if we move to the left side, say that P is now at -2. Difference = Final position - Initial position = -2 - 5 = -7( a negative number). Difference is negative so we are moving in negative direction. Think of a point P(-2,-5) in 2D system and it is moved to (-3,-5)[i.e. to the left side]. Difference(only x-coordinate) = -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1(a negative number). But here we are not taking y-coordinate into consideration because P is moving parallel to x-axis). So the difference tells us if we are moving in right side or left side.
You are about to factor a quadritic involving some x2 some x and a plain number you see the sign in front the x is negative and sign in front of the plain number is positive this tells you that when?
This tells you that both factors are likely to have minus signs.
What does it mean when it says give the coordinates of two points?
Every point on the graph has a pair of numbers that tell exactly where the point is.-- The first one tells what number on the x-axis the point is directly over (or under).-- The second one tells what number on the y-axis the point is directly right (or left) of.These two numbers are called the 'x' and 'y' coordinatesof the point.
Log -3 equals?
There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.
Is the difference of a negative integer and a negative integer is alwase negative?
No, not at all. It can be either negative or positive.Try this. We're going to give you a way to think about these things thatalways works, no matter whether you have positive numbers, negativenumbers, or one of each, and no matter which direction the problem goes:First, think of all the numbers, lined up like this ... just like the floors in atall building:+6+5+4+3+2+10 . . . (ground)-1-2-3-4-5-6-7The ground is at zero (look at it).The positive numbers are floors above ground, and the number tells you how high (look at it).The negative numbers are floors under ground, and the number tells you how deep (look at it).How to do Addition:The first number tells you which floor to start on.The second number tells you how many floors to move up or down.Move up if the second number is positive. Move down if it's negative.The floor that you finish on is the answer.How to do Subtraction:The first number tells you which floor to start on.The second number tells you how many floors to move up or down.But before you move ... Change the sign on the second number.. . . . . If it's positive, make it negative. If it's negative, make it positive.. . . . . Then add it to the first number, just like you do with addition.Move up if the second number is positive now. Move down if it's negative now.The floor that you finish on is the answer.And that's it ! Now you can do every addition and subtraction problem, withany combination of positive and negative numbers. You are powerful !
The second place after a decimal point tells how many of these?
The number in the second place after the decimal point shows the value of hundredths.EXAMPLE 0.345 : The '4' represents 4/100.
What is the period that separates two digits in a number called?
It is called the decimal point. We say "point". For example 3.25 cakes is "three point two five cakes". The decimal point shows that the number on its left is the last whole number. In the above example, you have three whole cakes. The number in the next place on the right tells you how many tenths of a cake there are, in this case two-tenths of a cake. The number in the next place on the right tells you how many hundredths of a cake there are, in this case five-hundredths of a cake. 0.1 (zero point one) is one tenth. 0.04 (zero point zero four) is four hundredths.
