Point X is on a number line halfway between –5 and 11. Point Y

represents an integer that has the same absolute value as point X.

What integers could be represented by point Y?

please help asap

Answer 1

`y = 3` or
`y =-3`

Explanation:

Given

x = midpoint of -5 and 11

y = absolute value of x

Required

Determine the value of y

First, calculate x.

`x = (1)/(2)(-5 + 11)`

`x = (1)/(2)(6)`

`x = 3`

y can then be represented as:

`|y| = x`

`|y| = 3`

Split:

`y = 3` or
`-y = 3`

`y = 3` or
`y =-3`
