Answer: 16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between any two points [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]x_2[/tex] on a number line is given by :-
[tex]d=|x_2-x_1|[/tex]
From the given picture, there is a number line where point S is at -2 and point T is at 14.
Then, the distance between points S and T will be :_
[tex]d=|14-(-2)|\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=|14+2|=|16|=16\text{ units}[/tex]
Hence, the distance between points S and T = 16 units
