Question

On a number line, suppose point E has a coordinate of 4, and EG = 11. What are the possible coordinates of point G?

Answer 1

Answer:

  -7, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The positive difference between E and G is 11.

Solution

  G - E = 11

  G = 11 + E = 11 + 4

  G = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . when G is right of E

__

  E - G = 11

  E - 11 = G = 4 - 11

  G = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . when G is left of E

Possible coordinates for G are -7 and 15.
