Question

On a number line, suppose point E has a coordinate of 4, and EG = 11. What are the possible coordinates of point G?

The possible coordinates for G are
(Type integers or decimals. Use
comma to separate answers as needed.)

Answer 1

-7, 15

Explanation:

The positive difference between E and G is 11.

Solution

G - E = 11

G = 11 + E = 11 + 4

G = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . when G is right of E

__

E - G = 11

E - 11 = G = 4 - 11

G = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . when G is left of E

Possible coordinates for G are -7 and 15.
