1. the distance between x and y is 6
2. xy is not an integer.

Guys while solving this question a no. of conceptual questions came to mind.Please clarify?
When we are talking about a number line,are we supposed to think that only (...-2,-1,0,1,2,....) can be represented?(-ives,zero and +ives)What about 2.5 ,2.6 (i.e decimals).Factually they CAn be represented right?I remember reading somewhere the definition of INTEGERS:Numbers that can be represented on the number line are called integers.Tha same question had some to mind then.While -2,0,2 are integers, .5,2.5 etc are not.
