Which distance measures 5 units? A number line going from negative 8 to positive 8. A closed circle appears at negative 8 and is labeled W. A closed circle appears at negative 3 and is labeled X. A closed circle appears at positive 1 and is labeled Y. A closed circle appears at positive 5 and is labeled Z. An orange arrow line extends the length of the number line and contains all points. the distance between points W and X the distance between points X and Y the distance between points X and Z the distance between points Y and Z

A:
Answer:The distance between W and X.Step-by-step explanation:Let's take the number line to be the line y=0 on the cartesian plane. Let's consider a circle that has its center at point W =(-8,0) and a circle that has its center at point X = (-3,0).The distance between points W and X = -3 - - 8 = -3 + 8 = 5
