Question

An object starts at position 12 on a horizontal line with a reference point of 0. What is the position of the object if it

moves 14 units to the left?
0-26
-2.
02
O 26

Answer 1

-2

Explanation:

We know that the object is at 12 on a horizontal line.

The horizontal line of a graph is the x axis, so lets think of 12 as 12x

On a graph, left is negative, and right is postive.

In this case we need to move 14x to the right, or -14x.

We start at 12x, so its going to be:

12x-14x=-2x

So -2 is the postition of the object on the x axis.

This is answer B.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer would be B
