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 Initial Position: Identify the initial position of Point R. Point R is located at −4 on a number line.
Determine Possible Positions: Determine the possible positions of Points S and T. Since Points S and T are each 10 units away from Point R, they can be located either 10 units to the left or 10 units to the right of Point R.
Calculate Position of S: Calculate the position of Point S.If Point S is 10 units to the right of Point R, we add 10 to the position of Point R.S=R+10=−4+10=6
Calculate Position of T: Calculate the position of Point T.If Point T is 10 units to the left of Point R, we subtract 10 from the position of Point R.T=R−10=−4−10=−14
