Question

The distance between X and Y is 6 1/2 units. Which number could represent the point Y?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 3.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = $\sf 6 \frac{1}{2} \ units = 6.5 \ units$

Here X is -3

So,

Point Y = -3 + 6.5 = 3.5

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know x is -3

we also know that the number has to be 6.5 units away from -3

so, -3 plus 6.5 is 3.5

-3 minus 6.5 is -9.5

Either 3.5 or -9.5 would work but 3.5 is the only listed option, so the answer is B
