Question

Two numbers have a distance of 5 units from 0 on a number line. The numbers can be graphed on the number line as points A and B.

Drag and drop the labels to the correct positions on the number line.

Answer 1

Drag A to negative 5 and B to positive 5.

Answer 2

Point A is labeled at x=-5 and point B is labeled at x=5.

Explanation:

It is given that two numbers have a distance of 5 units from 0 on a number line.

Let the unknown number be x.

Case 1: x is 5 units less than 0.

`x=0-5`

`x=-5`

The point A is labeled at x=-5.

Case 2: x is 5 units more than 0.

`x=0+5`

`x=5`

The point B is labeled at x=5.
