Q. Point X is located at −14 . Point Y is 6 less than Point X. Where is Y located?Y=□
Identify Location of Point X: Identify the location of Point X. Point X is located at −14.
Determine Location of Point Y: Determine the location of Point Y.Point Y is 6 less than Point X. To find the location of Point Y, we subtract 6 from the location of Point X.Calculation: Y=X−6
Substitute Value of Point X: Substitute the value of Point X into the equation.Since X is −14, we substitute −14 in place of X in the equation from Step 2.Calculation: Y=−14−6
Perform Subtraction for Point Y: Perform the subtraction to find the location of Point Y.Calculation: Y=−14−6=−20Point Y is located at −20.
