Question

A man starts at point zero.He walks forward four paces to point 4. He returns to point zero and continues walking back four more paces before he stops identify this point

Answer 1

Answer:

New point will be (-4) or (-4, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

"A man starts at a point zero".

If we locate this point on a graph we call it origin (0, 0).

"He walks forward four paces to point 4".

Then he reaches the point (4, 0) which is 4 units apart from the origin.

"He returns to the point zero".

That means man comes back to the origin (0, 0) by covering 4 units back.

"He continues walking back for 4 more paces"

That means man doesn't stop at zero and continues walking for 4 paces in the same direction.

On the graph he moves towards the negative direction of the x-axis.

So on graph the new point will be (-4, 0).

In more simpler way he will be at (-4) point.
