Q. Point R is located at −4 . Points S and T are each 10 units away from Point R. Where are S and T located?S=□T=□
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what is being asked.Point R is located at −4 on a number line. Points S and T are each 10 units away from Point R. We need to find the coordinates of Points S and T.
Determine Point S: Determine the location of Point S.Since Point S is 10 units away from Point R, and a point can be either to the left or to the right on a number line, Point S could be 10 units to the right of Point R.Calculate the position of Point S by adding 10 to the coordinate of Point R.S=R+10=−4+10=6
Determine Point T: Determine the location of Point T.Similarly, Point T is also 10 units away from Point R, but in the opposite direction from Point S. Therefore, Point T could be 10 units to the left of Point R.Calculate the position of Point T by subtracting 10 from the coordinate of Point R.T=R−10=−4−10=−14
