Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition postulate for line segment states that if we have points A, C and a point B on line AC, The distance between points A and C can be given as:

AC = AB + BC

Point A is at -6, point B is at -1, point C is at +2 and point D is at point 8.

Therefore using line segment postulates:

AD = AB + BC  + CD

But AB = -1 - (-6)= -1 + 6 = 5

BC = 2- (-1) = 2 +1 = 3

CD = 8 - (+2) = 8 - 2 = 6

Also AD = 8 - (-6) = 8 + 6 = 14

To prove AD = AB + BC  + CD

AD = 5 + 3 + 6 = 14
