Question

Point k is graphed on a number line at 3. Point l is 11 units away from point k on the number line. What could be the coordinates of point l? Choose all answers that are correct.

a. –14
b. –8
c. 7
d. 14

Answer 1

d 14 and b - 8

There are 2 possible positions for point I

11 units to the right or 11 units to the left of K

11 right gives I = 3 + 11 = 14 ⇒ d

11 left gives I = 3 - 11 = - 8 ⇒ b
