Question

On a number​ line, suppose point E has a coordinate of −2​, and EG=7. What are the possible coordinates of point​ G? The possible coordinates for G are

Answer 1

Answer:

-9 ; 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Coordinate of Point E = - 2

EG = 7

Possible coordinate of G

On the number line, G may be located on either side of E

If G is to the left of E; the coordinate if G is expressed as : (E - EG) = (-2 - 7) = - 9

If G is to the right of E; the coordinate if G is expressed as : (E + EG) = (-2 + 7) = 5

Hence, the possible coordinates of G are :

-9 and 5
