Question

On a number line, the coordinate of X is 52, the coordinate of Y

is 121, the coordinate of Zis-21 and the coordinate of Wis 25.
Is XY = ZW? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

since the magnitude of xy ≠ zw,

|x-y| = xy = |52-121|= 69, |z-w| = zw = |-21-25| = 46

69 ≠ 46
