Question

On a number​ line, suppose point E has a coordinate of -4 ​, and EG = 13. What are the possible coordinates of point​ G?

Answer 1

9 or -17

Explanation:

Hello!

The distance can be positive or negative, as we are just counting the number of units they are apart.

To find the possible coordinates for G, we can add or subtract 13 from -4 to find the possible coordinates for G.

Find G

• -4 + 13 = G1
  -4 - 13 = G2
  
• 9 = G1
  -17 = G2

The possible coordinates of G are 9 or -17.
