Question

If point A is located at (-3,-1) and there are 10 points between A and B, what could be the possible coordinates for point B?

Answer 1

To find the possible coordinates for point B, add the distance between A and B to the coordinates of A, dividing by 11. The possible coordinates for point B could be (-2.7272, -0.8182).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the possible coordinates for point B, we need to consider that there are 10 points between point A and point B, and point A is located at (-3,-1).

The x-coordinate of point B can be found by adding the distance between point A and point B to the x-coordinate of point A. Since there are 10 points between A and B, the distance is divided by 11. So the x-coordinate of B can be -3 + (10/11) = -2.7272.

The y-coordinate of point B can be found by adding the distance between point A and point B to the y-coordinate of point A. Similarly, the y-coordinate of B can be -1 + (10/11) = -0.8182.

Therefore, the possible coordinates for point B could be (-2.7272, -0.8182).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down .

1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:

(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)

2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:

(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)

3. MOVING UPWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:

(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)

4. MOVING DOWNWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:

(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)

So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.
