Use the ruler postulate to calculate the distance between p, which is at 7, and q, which is at 24. a. 15 b. 16 c. 17 d. 18

C. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule postulate says that "the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers."

Let the two points be given:

P = 7

Q = 24

And let D be the distance between the two points.

So,

D = │P-Q│ = │7-24│ =│-17│ = 17

So, the correct answer is C. 17

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope, b y-intercept

both equations and proportions are better.
