Q. Point X is located at −19 . Points Y and Z are each 8 units away from Point X. Where are Y and Z located?Y=□Z=□
Identify Location and Distance: Identify the location of Point X and the distance Points Y and Z are from Point X. Point X is located at −19 on the number line. Points Y and Z are each 8 units away from Point X. This means that Point Y could be 8 units to the left or to the right of Point X, and the same applies to Point Z.
Calculate Location of Point Y: Calculate the location of Point Y if it is 8 units to the right of Point X.To find the location of Point Y, we add 8 units to the location of Point X.Y=−19+8Y=−11
Calculate Location of Point Z: Calculate the location of Point Z if it is 8 units to the left of Point X.To find the location of Point Z, we subtract 8 units from the location of Point X.Z=−19−8Z=−27
