Question

On a number line, suppose point E has a coordinate of 3, and EG = 10. What are the possible coordinates of point G?

Answer 1

13 and - 7

Explanation:

10 units from 3 can be either

3 + 10 = 13 , or

3 - 10 = - 7

coordinates of G are 13 or - 7

Answer 2

The possible coordinates of point G are 13 or -7.

What are the possible coordinates of point G?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

EG = 10

Also, we have

E = 3

Since EG = 10, point G can be either 10 units to the right or 10 units to the left of point E.

When point G is 10 units to the right of point E.

In this case, the coordinate of point G would be:

3 + 10 = 13

When point G is 10 units to the left of point E.

In this case, the coordinate of point G would be:

3 - 10 = -7

Hence, the possible coordinates of point G are 13 or -7.
