Length is a strictly positive value. So, the length
between two points on a number line is given by:
r = upper - lower,
where r is the length, upper is the upper bound (the
right most point on the number line), and lower is the
lower boumd (the left most point on the number line).
Please not, we are assuming that numbers increase as
they go to the right on the number line, a reasonable
assumption as most number lines obey this property.
From your problem, the right most point is -4.25, and the
left most point is -6.75.
"""
lower = -6.75 # left most value
upper = -4.25 # right most value
r = upper - lower # length between boundaries
print(f"The length between {lower} and {upper} is {r}.")
"""
Upon running this code, you should get the following output:
The length between -6.75 and -4.25 is 2.5.
