Question

Point p= -4 >>>> the distance between point q and point p is 6 1/2 units. Which number could represent point q

Answer 1

p = -4

q could be 6.5 units to the right   ...   or to the left   ...   of point p.

to the right: p + q   ⇒  $-4 + (6\frac{1}{2}) = 2\frac{1}{2}$

to the left: p - q  ⇒ $-4 - (6\frac{1}{2}) = -10\frac{1}{2}$

Answer: $2\frac{1}{2}$ or $-10\frac{1}{2}$
