Question

On a number line, suppose point E coordinate of -2, and EG=12. what are the possible coordinates of point G?

Answer 1

-14 or 10.

Explanation:

It is given that, on a number line, suppose point E coordinate of -2, and EG=12.

We need to find the possible coordinates of point G.

Since EG=12 it means point distance between point E and G is 12 units, therefore point G must be on 12 units left or write from point E.

If point G is 12 units left of E, then

G=-2-12=-14

If point G is 12 units right of E, then

G=-2+12=10

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point G are -14 or 10.
