Q. Point I is located at −3 . Points J and K are each 10 units away from Point I. Where are J and K located?J=□K=□
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what is being asked.Point I is located at −3 on a number line, and Points J and K are each 10 units away from Point I. We need to find the coordinates of Points J and K.
Determine Possible Locations: Determine the possible locations of Point J.Since Point J is 10 units away from Point I, it can be either 10 units to the left or 10 units to the right of Point I. To find the coordinates, we will add and subtract 10 from the coordinate of Point I.
Calculate Coordinate of Point J (Right): Calculate the coordinate of Point J if it is to the right of Point I.Point I is at −3, so adding 10 units to the right gives us −3+10=7.
Calculate Coordinate of Point J (Left): Calculate the coordinate of Point J if it is to the left of Point I.Point I is at −3, so subtracting 10 units to the left gives us −3−10=−13.
Determine Possible Locations of Point K: Determine the possible locations of Point K. Point K is also 10 units away from Point I, so it will have the same possible coordinates as Point J, which are 7 and −13.
Conclude Final Answer: Conclude the final answer.Points J and K can be located at 7 and −13 on the number line. Since the problem does not specify a direction, both answers are correct for each point.
