Question

The coordinate of point P on the number line is 5. What are the coordinates of the points on the number line that are at a distance of 8 units from point P?

A) -3 and 13
B) -1 and 11
C) -2 and 12
D) 0 and 10

Answer 1

The coordinates of the points on the number line that are at a distance of 8 units from point P (which is at coordinate 5) are -3 and 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the points on the number line that are at a distance of 8 units from point P (which is at coordinate 5), we can subtract 8 from 5 and add 8 to 5. So the coordinates of the points will be:

• -3
• 13

Therefore, the correct answer is (A) -3 and 13.
